Tekamah Housing Authority

Tekamah Housing Authority is a local government housing agency in Tekamah, Nebraska that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for public housing operations and capital improvements, operating exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor or vendor.

Tekamah Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity structured as a housing authority. The organization has no federal contract awards, no contract prime awardees, and no contract sub-award relationships; its federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grant funding. The agency serves a single customer: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of its award portfolio.

The agency's federal work centers on two HUD formula-grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFPA 14.887) provides operating and maintenance subsidies for day-to-day expenses, resident supportive services, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation under the Housing Act of 1937. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFPA 14.872) supports public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and capital activities eligible under 24 CFR Part 905. Recent awards include a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; an Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 with ultimate completion on December 31, 2032; and another Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 with ultimate completion on March 31, 2030. Over the past several years, Tekamah Housing Authority has received approximately two awards per year across both programs, generating $1.6 million in combined obligated dollars across forty total awards dating to 2006.

Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete window for routine renewal of both operating and capital funding streams. The authority's role is that of direct HUD grant recipient, not sub-recipient or vendor; it administers public housing portfolios and implements HUD program requirements rather than contracting for services or goods on the federal market.
