Waterloo Housing Authority

Waterloo Housing Authority, a municipal housing agency headquartered in Waterloo, Iowa, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing capital improvements, modernization, development, and operating subsidies for low-income residents. The organization operates as a 100% prime recipient across all twenty recent federal awards in the source data, with no subcontractor role.

Waterloo Housing Authority's federal funding comes exclusively from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office through two recurring formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund supports day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund finances capital activities including public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and emergency work, with eligible activities described in 24 CFR Part 905. Representative awards in the source include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion May 5, 2028. Over the past five years, Waterloo Housing Authority has received two awards annually in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating stable and predictable annual funding cycles aligned to HUD's formula grant calendar.

The organization's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated: all twenty awards derive from a single customer, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Combined dollars obligated across the full award portfolio total $1.1 million. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating potential for competitive recompete activity in that window. The organization does not hold federal contract vehicles, does not serve as a federal contractor, and does not engage in subcontractor relationships on federal awards.
