Housing & Redevelopment Authority Of Barnesville

Housing & Redevelopment Authority Of Barnesville (doing business as Barnesville HRA), a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Barnesville, Minnesota, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer and fund public housing operations and capital improvements. The organization is a prime recipient on all federal awards in its portfolio (39 grants, 100% prime), with no contracting footprint and no subcontractor relationships.

Barnesville HRA's federal footprint is monolithic: all 39 awards derive from a single customer agency, the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, across two recurring formula grant programs. The organization receives ongoing Public Housing Operating Fund grants (CFDA 14.850) to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service at its public housing inventory. Concurrent awards under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872) fund public housing development, modernization, and management improvements in accordance with the organization's HUD-approved five-year action plan. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion March 31, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a second Public Housing Capital Fund grant dated April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030.

Activity is flat at approximately two awards per year across 2022–2026, with combined dollars obligated of $1.6 million across all awards. This low obligated-dollar figure reflects formula-grant accounting conventions — HUD provides annual allocation notices and funding adjustments rather than fixed award values; the source captures only obligated rather than total potential awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Barnesville HRA operates as a traditional public housing authority administering federally subsidized rental housing for low-income residents; it does not compete for federal contracts or deliver services to other agencies, making it a housing-operations recipient rather than a federal contractor or servicer.
