The Jo Daviess County Housing Authority received a $119,265 Formula Grant award on April 20, 2026, through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). This funding supports day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities throughout Jo Daviess County, Illinois, with a completion date of December 31, 2029.

The operating funds finance critical services including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation expenses. These subsidies enable the Housing Authority to maintain safe, sanitary, and affordable housing stock while sustaining minimum operating reserves and service delivery for its public housing residents. As part of the broader $5 billion national program serving approximately 902,436 households across 6,000 Public Housing Agencies, this award reflects HUD's ongoing commitment to supporting the operational infrastructure necessary for effective affordable housing provision at the local level.
