The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Housing Authority of County of Saline $309,521 under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) on January 1, 2026.
The operating fund supports day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for the authority's public housing portfolio, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs. Performance runs through December 31, 2030, at the authority's location in Harrisburg, Illinois.
The Housing Authority of County of Saline operates nearly 1,000 public housing units serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities across Saline County. The authority is a specialized local government entity with no private contracting activity; its entire federal funding relationship concentrates with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has awarded it 73 grants totaling $46.3 million over twenty years. The authority also receives separate capital funding under CFDA 14.872 for construction, acquisition, and energy efficiency upgrades. The award is a formula grant distributed according to HUD's formula methodology rather than competitive procurement, and the recipient operates under Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200).
