Sterling Housing Authority

Sterling Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Sterling, Colorado, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund operating expenses and capital improvements for its public housing stock. The Authority acts as a prime recipient under two recurring HUD grant programs and does not hold federal contracts or serve as a contractor or subcontractor.

Sterling Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants distributed through HUD's Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Authority receives annual operating grants to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital grants fund public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities specified in the Authority's five-year action plan. Recent awards include a $130,380 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $393,075 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. Earlier capital grants dating to 2022 carry completion dates ranging through 2029.

All forty awards in the source data are administered by a single customer — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office — with combined obligated dollars of $8.8 million across the period 2022–2026. The Authority has received two awards per year consistently across the past five years. Two awards (one operating and one capital grant) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating typical formula-grant recompete cycles. Sterling Housing Authority operates within the national Public Housing Operating Fund program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities and 1.59 million residents, and the Public Housing Capital Fund serving approximately 2,770 public housing agencies across all 50 states and territories. As a government entity rather than a vendor, Sterling Housing Authority does not compete for contracts, does not hold positions on contract vehicles, and does not engage in subcontracting relationships — its federal relationship is limited to receipt of formula-based operating and capital grants to support local public housing operations.
