City Of Sikeston

The Housing Authority of Sikeston, a municipal housing authority operating as a division of the City of Sikeston, Missouri, receives federal grants as a prime recipient under public housing and community service programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Corporation for National and Community Service. This is a government entity, not a for-profit or small business, and operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or sub activity.

The Housing Authority's federal grant portfolio centers on two primary HUD programs through the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies formula grants for capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure upgrades, and emergency repairs to the authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents. Recent awards include $734,352 granted April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and $548,993 granted May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2028, with eligible activities specified in the authority's five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies covering day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The authority received $325,689 in operating funds effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. Beyond housing operations, the Housing Authority also serves as a recipient under the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (CFDA 94.011), which funds intergenerational volunteer service delivering tutoring, literacy instruction, and mentoring to children with special needs or academic disadvantages. The authority received $548,993 on September 5, 2025 for this program running through June 30, 2028, with a 10 percent statutory match requirement.

The Housing Authority's customer base is narrow and specialized. HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 40 of 46 total awards (87% of activity), while the Corporation for National and Community Service (through both its Office of Grants Management and direct awards) holds six awards. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $24.9 million. Activity over the past five years shows modest variability (two to three awards annually in 2023–2026) with three awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing renewal and recompete opportunity within HUD's formula-grant cycle. The authority serves elderly residents (44% of beneficiaries) and families with children (35%), operating public housing units across Sikeston, Missouri under compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and applicable HUD regulations including 24 CFR 990 and 24 CFR 941.
