Wytheville Redevelopment & Housing Authority

Wytheville Redevelopment & Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Wytheville, Virginia, receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents. The Authority acts as a formula-grant recipient (100% of awards) under two primary HUD programs — the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) — with no federal contracting or subcontracting activity in the source data.

The Authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 42 recent awards spanning roughly twenty years of obligated funding. The two grant programs drive the activity: the Public Housing Operating Fund provides day-to-day operational subsidies for property management, routine and preventive maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses. The Public Housing Capital Fund supports capital modernization, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements to the housing inventory. Recent awards include a $781,532 Capital Fund formula grant obligated April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital activities specified in the Authority's approved 5-year action plan, and a $231,872 Operating Fund formula grant obligated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, supporting ongoing operations and maintenance. Additional Capital Fund and Operating Fund grants obligated in 2024, 2025, and earlier years run through 2028, 2030, and 2031 respectively. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $17.8 million over the active award history.

Activity runs at a steady cadence of approximately two awards per year across 2022–2026, reflecting the calendar-based cycle of HUD's annual operating and capital fund allocations to public housing authorities nationwide. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the recompete window for those funding cycles. The Authority operates as the direct recipient of all federal grant funding; there is no prime contractor or subcontractor involvement in the source record. Federal funding supports housing operations and capital activities for approximately 1.04 million public housing units nationwide serving nearly one million residents, with the Authority's allocation calculated using HUD's formula approach based on inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs.
