Cass Lake Housing Authority

Cass Lake Housing Authority, doing business as Four Season Apartments, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Cass Lake, Minnesota, that operates as a prime recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its entire award footprint comprises HUD grant funding for public housing operating and capital activities.

Cass Lake Housing Authority receives formula grants under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA program providing day-to-day operational subsidies for maintenance, management, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service on public housing units) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872, funding modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure work on public housing inventory). Recent awards include multiple Public Housing Operating Fund grants running through 2029, 2031, and 2032, a Public Housing Capital Fund award of $149,063 running through March 31, 2030, and additional Capital Fund grants awarded in May 2024 and May 2025. All grants are formula-based allocations calculated on the Authority's unit count, building age, construction costs, and other inventory metrics. The Authority must apply funds to eligible activities specified in its five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency and disaster-related work, and must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with federal audit requirements under 2 CFR 200.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the Authority's 42 awards, with $3.7 million in combined dollars obligated across the entire award history since 2006. Recent activity shows two awards per year from 2022 through 2025, increasing to five awards in 2026. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting grant recompete activity in that window. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient with no subcontract or sub-recipient relationships; all work is performed directly by Cass Lake Housing Authority staff in Cass Lake, Minnesota.
