Smithville Housing Authority

Smithville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Smithville, Missouri, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, emergency repairs, management activities, and day-to-day operating expenses for low-income residents. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient and does not compete for federal contracts or hold positions on contract vehicles; all thirty-nine awards in the source represent formula-based HUD grants distributed under federal housing programs rather than competitive procurements.

Smithville Housing Authority's entire federal footprint—$5.9 million in combined obligations across thirty-nine awards over the past two decades—flows from a single funding source: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives recurring annual allocations under two primary federal grant programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides grants for capital-intensive activities including public housing modernization, development, unit acquisition, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs, with recent awards including a $203,570 formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and prior allocations awarded May 13, 2025 (four-year completion window through May 12, 2029), May 6, 2024, February 17, 2023, and May 12, 2022. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) covers recurring operational and maintenance expenses, administrative costs, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and information technology platform modernization, with awards annually from January through December of each cycle—most recently January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and prior cycles in January 2025, January 2024, January 2023, and January 2022. Both programs operate as formula allocations calculated by HUD based on inventory characteristics such as unit counts and building age rather than through competitive application; the authority must restrict spending to HUD-approved five-year action plans or emergency work necessitated by natural disasters, all under 24 CFR Part 905 and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Smithville Housing Authority does not engage in federal contracting, subcontracting, or competitive procurement; it functions as a pass-through recipient of formula-driven housing program grants for infrastructure and operations serving approximately one million public housing units nationwide across nearly 2,770 public housing agencies.
