Phillipsburg City Of Housing Author

Phillipsburg City Of Housing Author, doing business as Westview Homes, is a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Phillipsburg, Kansas that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing assets. The organization does not hold federal contracts; all federal revenue flows through HUD formula grants administered to public housing agencies under the Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund programs.

Westview Homes operates as a prime grant recipient on 41 of 42 recent awards, with a single sub-recipient role under a Kansas Adjutant General Department grant for property repair and improvement. The entity's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated — 41 awards flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (100% of the prime grant portfolio), with one additional award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $2.7 million, reflecting the formula-grant nature of the funding rather than discretionary contracts. The organization has served two distinct federal agencies over its recent award history.

Westview Homes receives recurring formula grants under two HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund grants (awarded annually on January 1, running through December 31) fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent operating fund grants include awards dated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), and January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030). The Public Housing Capital Fund grants finance capital development, modernization, and management improvements under 24 CFR Part 905 eligible activities. Recent capital fund awards include grants dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028), February 17, 2023 (completion February 16, 2027), and May 12, 2022 (completion May 11, 2026). Westview Homes also holds a Public Housing Capital Fund grant for emergency safety and security needs awarded September 18, 2025 (completion September 17, 2027), which may carry a maximum award amount of $250,000 under HUD's lottery-based emergency safety and security set-aside for public housing agencies.

Activity has been steady at one to two awards per year through 2024, with four awards in 2025 and two in 2026. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal processing. The organization's role is fundamentally that of a direct HUD beneficiary administering federal formula grant funds for local public housing operations and capital needs, not a commercial vendor or contractor competing for discretionary federal work.
