Wakefield Housing Commission

Wakefield Housing Commission, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Wakefield, Michigan, acts as the prime recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.850, Public Housing Operating Fund, and CFDA 14.872, Public Housing Capital Fund) to fund public housing operations, maintenance, modernization, and development activities. The organization is a subordinate division of the City of Wakefield and operates exclusively as a grant recipient, with no federal contracts or subcontracting activity in its recent award footprint.

Wakefield Housing Commission's federal funding portfolio consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two principal programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund grants (CFDA 14.850) provide operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service on public housing units. The Public Housing Capital Fund grants (CFDA 14.872) support capital modernization, development, management improvements, and eligible activities defined under 24 CFR Part 905, including activities specified in approved five-year action plans or approved for emergency work. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion March 31, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion May 5, 2028. The source data span ten years of awards beginning July 1, 2006, with a consistent pattern of two grants awarded per calendar year.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 41 of 42 total awards (100% coverage); a single award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development represents the only diversification. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.8 million across the portfolio snapshot. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across 2022–2026, with no prime contracts, vehicles, or subcontracting relationships in the award history.
