Cumberland Co Housing

Cumberland Co Housing, Housing Authority of the County of Cumberland, is a non-profit public housing authority based in Toledo, Illinois that receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to operate and maintain public housing for low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities in Cumberland County. The organization operates as a grant recipient under two primary HUD programs and has no federal contract prime or subcontractor work in its recent footprint.

Cumberland Co Housing's federal funding portfolio consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (PHOF, CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund provides annual subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Capital Fund supports modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and emergency repairs to the housing stock, with activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. Recent awards include a $145,406 operating subsidy for the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $253,470 capital fund grant with completion targeted for March 31, 2030. Earlier grants span back to 2022, including capital and operating fund awards with completion dates extending into 2030 and 2031.

Cumberland Co Housing's federal customer concentration is absolute: all forty awards in the recent footprint come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with combined dollars obligated at $8.2 million over the award portfolio. Activity is steady at approximately two awards per year across both 2022 and 2025, with four awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no subcontractor engagements or federal contract work, positioning it as a direct HUD grantee responsible for capital and operational stewardship of public housing stock rather than as a federal service or construction vendor.
