City Of ORD Housing Authority

City Of ORD Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority headquartered in Ord, Nebraska, is a federal grant recipient (100% of awards) operating exclusively as a prime recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office formula grant programs. The Authority does not hold federal contracts or subcontracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding for public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in Ord.

The Authority's grant portfolio spans two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source; authorization under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937) provides formula-based operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula-based capital grants for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and related financing costs. Representative awards include a $297,812 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; an Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund formula grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029. These are formula allocations calculated by HUD using inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, not competitive applications. Eligible activities are governed by 24 CFR Part 905 and must align with the Authority's approved Five-Year Action Plan or HUD emergency approvals.

The Authority has received 36 awards across the past several years — two awards annually from 2022 through 2026 — with a combined obligated value of $6 million. All funding flows from a single customer agency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete timing. The Authority's federal footprint is limited to formula grant administration and capital-improvement planning for its public housing inventory in Ord; it does not engage in federal contracting, does not sit on contract vehicles, and does not subcontract.
