Plumas County Community Development Commission

Plumas County Community Development Commission, a California county housing authority operating as a public housing agency, receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to administer public housing capital and operating funds serving low-income residents in Plumas County. The Commission is a local government entity structured as a division of Plumas County government, based in Quincy, California, and acts exclusively as a prime grant recipient under HUD's formula-grant programs rather than as a federal contractor or subcontractor on competitive procurements.

The Commission's federal footprint consists almost entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities; and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational expenses, routine maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services. Recent prime awards include a $2.35 million Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded March 11, 2026, with completion set for March 10, 2028; a $407,958 Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; and a $183,121 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Commission also receives sub-grant awards for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) services delivered through the California Department of Community Services and Development, with sub-awards for weatherization and home energy assistance dated December 24, 2025, May 15, 2025, June 5, 2024, and December 22, 2023.

HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the Commission's prime awards (39 of 39), with additional sub-grant activity routed through the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (4 awards) and the Environmental Protection Agency (1 award). The Commission's recent activity shows stable annual volume—two to four awards per year across 2022 to 2025, with three awards in 2026 year-to-date. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting near-term recompete exposure. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $14.1 million. The Commission's parent entity is the County of Plumas, a U.S. local government.
