Big Rapids Housing Commission Inc.

Big Rapids Housing Commission Inc., operating as Evergreen Village, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Big Rapids, Michigan, that receives federal housing formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain its public housing portfolio.

Evergreen Village is a municipal housing authority structured as a U.S. Government Entity under the Inter-municipal and Housing Authorities Public/Tribal business classification. The organization does not hold federal contracts or compete for contract vehicles; it functions exclusively as a federal grant recipient. All 59 awards in its federal footprint are prime grant awards with no subcontract or sub-award activity, concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (100% of awards).

The organization's grant work centers on two core HUD programs. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), Evergreen Village received recurring annual operating subsidies totaling $310,555 across multiple awards spanning 2022 through 2032, supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation for its nearly 1,000 public housing units serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the organization received capital grants including a $921,649 award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and prior awards dating to 2022, supporting capital and management activities including modernization of existing units, development of additional affordable housing inventory, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and mixed-finance development financing.

Award volume has remained stable at three grants per year across the 2022–2026 period, with three awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined federal dollars obligated across all 59 grants total $24.6 million. The organization operates with no federal contract exposure, no parent vehicles, and no teaming relationships; its entire federal footprint consists of formula-based allocations from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office calculated under established federal formulas reflecting the agency's housing inventory characteristics rather than competitive application.
