Whitefish Housing Authority

Whitefish Housing Authority, doing business as Mountain View Manor, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Whitefish, Montana, that receives federal operating and capital grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to support public housing operations and modernization. The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient under HUD's formula grant programs; it has no federal contracts, no subcontract relationships, and no involvement in procurement vehicles.

The authority's entire federal footprint consists of recurring formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.871) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs required under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure work within the authority's portfolio in Whitefish. Recent awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2032 (awarded January 1, 2026), a Public Housing Capital Fund award for $141,014 (awarded April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030) for capital and management activities including modernization and emergency repairs, and another Public Housing Capital Fund award (awarded May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029). All 44 awards in the source data come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no diversification across customer agencies or program lines.

Activity volume has remained modest and stable over the period — two to five awards per year across 2022 to 2026 — with $3.1 million obligated cumulatively across all awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Whitefish Housing Authority's role in the federal ecosystem is that of a local government housing authority administering federally funded public housing inventory; it is not a federal contractor, service provider, or commercial vendor.
