City Of Grayling

City Of Grayling, doing business as Grayling Housing Commission, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Grayling, Michigan, that operates as a recipient of HUD formula grants for public housing operations and capital improvements. The entity does not compete for federal contracts; it receives direct allocations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under two recurring federal grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.871) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

Grayling Housing Commission is a child entity of the City Of Grayling municipal government. All forty-two awards in its recent federal footprint are prime recipient grants issued by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office; the commission holds no federal contract positions, subcontract positions, or IDV seats. The grant portfolio reflects formula-based allocations rather than competitive awards, calculated by HUD using established formulas tied to the housing authority's public housing inventory characteristics.

The commission's work centers on public housing operations, capital modernization, and management activities for low-income residents in Grayling. Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund awards enable construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of public housing units; infrastructure improvements; emergency repairs; energy efficiency upgrades; and security initiatives, all constrained to eligible activities under 24 CFR Part 905 and either specified in the commission's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

Recent representative grants include a Public Housing Capital Fund allocation of $225,341 awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, running through May 12, 2029. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-two awards total $5.9 million. Award volume has remained flat at two per year across the five most recent years (2022–2026), with two awards currently facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The commission's federal customer footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, reflecting the exclusive formula-grant structure of its federal funding stream.
