Curtis Housing Authority

Curtis Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Curtis, Nebraska, is a recipient of HUD Public Housing Operating Fund and Public Housing Capital Fund formula grants, with all work performed as a prime recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Curtis Housing Authority does not function as a federal contractor or participate in federal procurement vehicles; the entity's federal footprint consists exclusively of HUD formula grants directed to public housing agencies for capital modernization, development, and operating expenses. The authority receives ongoing funding under two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, administrative and program implementation costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service — part of a $5 billion program across approximately 6,000 housing authorities serving 1.59 million public housing residents nationwide. The Public Housing Capital Fund supports capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and eligible activities under 24 CFR Part 905, drawn from an amended 1937 Housing Act framework that reaches approximately 2,770 public housing agencies serving nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories.

Curtis Housing Authority's federal grant portfolio shows consistent, stable engagement with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office as its sole customer agency across 39 awards dating back to 2006, with two awards issued annually from 2022 through 2026. Recent representative awards include an Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; a Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, with ultimate completion March 31, 2030; and a Capital Fund formula grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029. Four awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across the entire award portfolio total $1.5 million, reflecting the modest scale of this rural Nebraska housing authority. The authority operates as a direct federal grant recipient with no subcontracting footprint and no role in federal procurement teaming or contracting vehicles.
