Housing Authority Of The County Of Wabash

Housing Authority of the County of Wabash IL is a U.S. local government entity — a county housing authority serving low-income residents in Mt. Carmel, Illinois — that receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (HUD/PIH) to operate and maintain its public housing portfolio. The authority acts as a prime recipient on all federal awards; it has no federal contract prime or sub awards and does not sit on any government-wide contract vehicles.

Housing Authority of the County of Wabash IL's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund grants provide annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. A representative Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 carries $190,170 in obligated funding. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities; a representative Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 carries $324,099 in obligated funding. Both program categories operate under formula-based allocation mechanisms established under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and require compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

All 35 awards in the source data span from 2006 to the present, with consistent annual volume over the past five years at two awards per year. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $9 million, distributed across both Operating Fund and Capital Fund cycles. The authority serves one customer agency — HUD/PIH — accounting for 100% of awards. Within the next twenty-four months, two awards reach ultimate completion dates and face potential recompete or renewal. The authority operates independently as a public housing agency under Annual Contribution Contracts with HUD and administers federal funds for maintenance and capital improvements to its Wabash County public housing stock serving elderly residents and families with children.
