Cozad Housing Authority

Cozad Housing Authority (doing business as Housing Authority Of The City Of Cozad), a U.S. local government housing authority based in Cozad, Nebraska, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to administer public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies for its portfolio of public housing units. The authority acts exclusively as a prime recipient of federal grant funding (100% of its recent award footprint) and does not engage in federal contracting as a prime or subcontractor.

Cozad Housing Authority's federal grant activity centers on two core HUD programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OPFUND) provides annual operating subsidies to assist in funding day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) finances capital improvements, modernization, development activities that expand or reconfigure the housing inventory, and management improvements. Recent representative awards include a capital fund grant awarded on May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund award on January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant on April 1, 2026, with completion on March 31, 2030. The authority has received formula grants annually since at least 2022, with two awards placed in each of the past five years (2022 through 2026). All 41 awards in the source data originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, except for two awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner.

Customer concentration is total: HUD accounts for all recent awards. The recompete cliff shows two awards completing within the next twenty-four months. The authority's combined dollars obligated across all awards in the source data total $2.6 million, reflecting the formula-grant nature of public housing administration — these are recurring, structured appropriations rather than discretionary contract competitions. As a U.S. government entity (specifically a local government housing authority), Cozad Housing Authority does not hold SBA designations and does not operate as a federal contractor or subcontractor. It functions as an administering recipient of direct federal housing assistance programs.
