Walsenburg Housing Authority

Walsenburg Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Walsenburg, Colorado, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to support public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents.

Walsenburg Housing Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient on HUD grants; it has no federal contract prime awards and does not subcontract on federal work. The organization's entire recent federal footprint consists of Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. These grants fund day-to-day operational expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service, as well as capital activities including housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, facility repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, acquisition and construction of additional units, and emergency repairs. Representative recent awards include a $434,944 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030; a $155,767 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and an earlier Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024, with completion by May 5, 2028.

Walsenburg Housing Authority's federal customer base is entirely concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued all 33 awards in the source data spanning 2022 through April 2026. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $9.7 million. Annual award volume has held steady at two awards per year across the past five years. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete exposure in that window. The organization's operating model is tied to HUD's formula-grant structure for public housing agencies serving roughly 1.59 million residents nationally across approximately 6,000 housing authorities; Walsenburg's funding levels are determined by established formulas based on unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than competitive procurement.
