Stilwell Housing Authority

Stilwell Housing Authority, a non-profit public housing authority headquartered in Stilwell, Oklahoma, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and operational expenses for its public housing portfolio. The authority operates exclusively under HUD's formula grant programs and has no federal contracting activity; all forty awards in the recent source footprint are federal grants.

Stilwell Housing Authority was established in 2005 and administers HUD funding directly without sub-recipients. The authority's federal grant work centers on two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses required under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, emergency repairs, and development of additional public housing units under 24 CFR Part 905. Recent awards include a $243,673 Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026, performance through March 31, 2030) and a $164,137 Operating Fund award (January 1, 2026, performance through December 31, 2032). The authority has received consistent annual grants since May 2005.

Customer concentration is absolute: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the authority's forty awards, representing $7.2 million in combined dollars obligated across the full source period. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Two awards face completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunity for HUD to reassess the authority's funding allocation under the formula grant cycle. Place of performance for all work is Stilwell, Oklahoma. Stilwell Housing Authority operates as a pure recipient of formula funding rather than as a contractor or vendor seeking competitive federal business; the authority's federal footprint reflects the statutory distribution mechanism by which HUD allocates capital and operating resources to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide serving nearly one million units.
