Wilburton Housing Authority

Wilburton Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Wilburton, Oklahoma, that receives federal grant funding as a direct recipient (100% of awards) under HUD's Public Housing programs. The authority operates entirely within a single federal customer — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office — and does not hold federal contracts, competitive procurements, or teaming positions. Its federal footprint consists exclusively of formula-grant allocations under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund.

Wilburton Housing Authority acts as recipient for recurring, multi-year formula grants that fund capital modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and day-to-day operational expenses for its public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Wilburton. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant of $105,234 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital activities specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or authorized by HUD for emergency repairs; a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding management, maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; a Public Housing Capital Fund award effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. The authority has received 39 federal awards since 2006, with 4 awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Activity has remained steady at two awards annually across the past five years (2022–2026). Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $2.6 million. As a formula-based recipient, Wilburton Housing Authority's allocations reflect its public housing inventory characteristics rather than competitive selection, and compliance obligations center on 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and 24 CFR Part 905 regulations governing eligible capital and operating activities.
