Auburn Housing Authority

Auburn Housing Authority, doing business as Valley View Apartments, is a local government housing authority that receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operating expenses in Auburn, Nebraska. The authority operates as a child entity of the City of Auburn and acts exclusively as a grant recipient — it does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, GWACs, or subcontracts, and therefore does not compete for or bid on procurements.

Auburn Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants under two programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The capital grants fund public housing development, including construction and acquisition of additional units, modernization of existing units, and management improvements specified in HUD-approved five-year action plans or emergency repairs related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters. Operating fund grants cover day-to-day operational, maintenance, administrative, and resident support services. Recent awards include a $105,102 capital fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030); a capital fund award dated May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029); an emergency and non-presidentially declared natural disaster capital fund award dated March 27, 2025 (completion March 26, 2027); and operating fund awards spanning January 2025 through December 2032. The authority has received 42 total awards since 2006 with combined dollars obligated of $4 million across all sources, concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — 100% coverage by a single customer.

Activity has remained stable in recent years, averaging two awards annually from 2022 through 2024, with uptick to four awards in 2025 and two in 2026. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, positioning those grants for renewal or recompete by the authority. Auburn Housing Authority's operational scope is limited to Auburn, Nebraska public housing administration and does not extend to federal contracting, vendor engagement, or sub-award administration; accordingly, it is neither a prime contractor, subcontractor, nor contracting partner in the federal procurement ecosystem.
