Stilwell Housing Authority

Stilwell Housing Authority is a non-profit organization located in Stilwell, Oklahoma, that has been registered to receive federal awards since May 2005. The organization serves as a public housing authority responsible for managing and operating affordable housing programs for low-income residents in its service area. Through its federal grant awards, Stilwell Housing Authority provides critical housing infrastructure, maintenance, and operational services that support the delivery of safe, decent, and affordable housing to vulnerable populations, including elderly residents and families with children.

Stilwell Housing Authority has received consistent federal grant funding through two primary U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office: the Public Housing Operating Fund and the Public Housing Capital Fund. The Operating Fund grants, awarded annually on January 1st with performance periods extending through September 30th of subsequent years, support day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs necessary to maintain the authority's public housing portfolio. The Capital Fund grants, awarded on rotating schedules (most recently in May 2025 with a $239,747 award), provide financial assistance for capital and modernization activities including infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, emergency repairs, development of additional public housing units, and management improvements. All awards are formula grants distributed directly to the authority without identified prime or sub-contractor partners, reflecting the authority's direct responsibility for administering these federal funds to serve its resident population through housing operations and capital improvements that comply with the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and applicable Code of Federal Regulations standards.
