Alpena Housing Commission

Alpena Housing Commission, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Alpena, Michigan, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office supporting public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident services across the agency's portfolio.

Alpena Housing Commission operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient—not a contractor—under two primary HUD programs. The agency receives annual Public Housing Operating Fund allocations (CFDA 14.850) to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation costs. The agency also receives Public Housing Capital Fund allocations (CFDA 14.872) supporting capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and public housing development or reconfiguration. Recent awards include a $138,979 Public Housing Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), a $483,582 Public Housing Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), and prior-year capital allocations awarded May 6, 2024, February 17, 2023, and May 12, 2022. All awards are formula-based allocations calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting the agency's public housing inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than competitive selection.

The agency's federal footprint is narrow and stable. Twenty-two awards across the past five years, all from the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, obligate $7.1 million in combined dollars. Activity averaged two awards per year in 2024 and 2025, with two awards completing their ultimate obligation date within the next twenty-four months. Alpena Housing Commission has no federal contract prime awards, no subcontract exposure, and no involvement with competitive vehicles such as GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs. The agency functions as a direct HUD grantee serving low-income residents in Alpena, Michigan, and operates under the Administrative Requirements of 2 CFR 200 and HUD's Information Management System reporting requirements.
