Richmond Housing Authority

Richmond Housing Authority, a municipal government entity located in Richmond, Missouri, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing inventory serving low-income residents. The Authority acts exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) under two permanent, recurring federal grant programs and does not compete for federal contracts, IDIQs, or task orders.

Richmond Housing Authority's entire federal footprint derives from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across two formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring annual subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. The current operating fund award runs from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including physical improvements to existing units, acquisition and construction of additional housing inventory, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and related financing costs for standard and mixed-finance developments. The most recent capital fund award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, carries a value of $250,247. A prior capital fund award, dated May 6, 2024, with completion date May 5, 2028, preceded the current cycle. These formula-based allocations are calculated using established metrics reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive application. The Authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and obligate funds by each award's completion date.

Combined obligated dollars across all 45 awards in the source total $8.7 million, reflecting modest annual grants typical of smaller metropolitan PHAs. Six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering formula recalculation and potential reallocation cycles. The Authority's concentration with a single customer agency (100% of awards from HUD Public and Indian Housing Office) and exclusive grant-recipient posture position it as a service delivery entity rather than a procurement actor in federal contracting.
