City Of Crete

The City Of Crete Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity operating as a subsidiary of the City Of Crete municipal government in Crete, Nebraska, receives annual federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and emergency safety and security measures. The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a contractor — with no contract prime awards or subcontract positions in its footprint.

The Housing Authority's grant portfolio consists entirely of HUD formula grants under three federal programs spanning operating subsidies, capital modernization, and emergency safety funding. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating grants to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, resident supportive services, and administrative costs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) furnishes multi-year grants for public housing development, modernization, management improvements, and eligible capital activities under 24 CFR Part 905. The Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster Safety and Security Grant program allocates one-time assistance for safety and security items addressing crime and drug-related activity, with maximum award amounts of $250,000 per application. Recent awards include an August 2026 safety and security grant (ultimate completion August 2028), a May 2025 capital fund grant (ultimate completion May 2029), and a January 2026 operating fund grant (ultimate completion December 2031). The Housing Authority also received a capital fund award dated May 2024 (ultimate completion May 2028) and an operating fund award dated January 2025 (ultimate completion December 2031).

The Housing Authority's activity runs steady but modest — two awards per year from 2022 through 2025, three awards in 2026 — with combined dollars obligated across forty-one awards totaling $2.3 million. All forty-one awards originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office; no other federal agencies appear in the footprint. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. The Housing Authority does not engage subcontractors and operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem rather than the federal contracting marketplace, making it immaterial for competitive intelligence on federal procurement vehicles, set-asides, or prime contractor teaming.
