Wamego Local Housing Authority

Wamego Local Housing Authority, a local government housing agency in Wamego, Kansas, is a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering public housing capital modernization and operating funds under formula grant programs. The authority is a child entity of the City of Wamego and operates exclusively within HUD's public housing grant ecosystem with no federal contract work.

Wamego Local Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants across two recurring programs. The authority receives annual Public Housing Operating Fund grants (CFDA not separately itemized in source; most recent award January 1, 2025, ultimate completion December 31, 2031) to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. In parallel, the authority receives Public Housing Capital Fund grants (most recent award April 1, 2026, ultimate completion March 31, 2030) to finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and eligible capital activities as defined in 24 CFR 905.200. Representative awards include a Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024 (ultimate completion May 5, 2028) and an Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2024 (ultimate completion December 31, 2030).

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole funding source across all 35 awards in the source data, covering the full window of grant activity. Total dollars obligated across all awards stands at $1.8 million. Activity is flat and modest — two awards per year across 2022 through 2026 — with two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority holds no parent contract vehicles, sits on no GWACs or IDIQs, and carries no subcontract work. Wamego Local Housing Authority operates as a formula-grant recipient only, performing public housing administration and capital improvement activities at its Wamego, Kansas location under the statutory framework of the Housing Act of 1937.
