Alexandria Housing & Redevelopment Authority

Alexandria Housing & Redevelopment Authority is a U.S. local government entity—a public housing authority—that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing stock serving low-income residents in Alexandria, Minnesota. The Authority acts exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards); it does not hold federal contracts and does not serve as a subcontractor or sub-recipient on awards issued to other entities.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants and project grants under three program vehicles. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides ongoing operational and maintenance subsidies; the Authority received $190,183 under a formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, supporting day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security operations, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and modernization activities; the Authority received $303,467 under a formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 for eligible activities including modernization projects, development activities, management improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing costs. The Authority also participates in the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, a project grant awarded June 1, 2025 with completion scheduled for May 31, 2028, designed to support workforce development and economic mobility among public housing residents. Over the past five years, the Authority has received three to four awards annually, with 46 total awards across its funding history and $11.4 million in combined dollars obligated. All awards are issued by the single customer agency—HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office—reflecting the Authority's single-mission operating structure. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete touchpoints with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under the standard formula-grant renewal cycles.
