Bay City Housing Commission

Bay City Housing Commission, a U.S. local government entity, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula-based housing assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to manage and operate public housing units serving low-income residents in Bay City, Michigan.

Bay City Housing Commission operates exclusively as a direct grant recipient under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund provides day-to-day operational and maintenance subsidies for public housing units, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Capital Fund supports modernization, development, and capital improvement activities that enhance or reconfigure the Commission's affordable housing inventory, including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, physical infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. Both programs require the Commission to maintain eligible activities under an approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work or non-presidentially declared natural disaster recovery. The Commission must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.

Recent awards show a stable grant cadence with two awards per year across 2022 through 2026. The most recent awards include a $750,905 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and a $325,976 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). The Commission's funding footprint spans 65 awards and $34.2 million in combined obligated dollars across all sources, with all awards originating from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — 100% customer concentration. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Commission holds no federal contract prime positions and performs no subcontract work; it operates as a direct, formulaic grant recipient serving Bay City's low-income population, including families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities.
