Dawson County Housing Authority

Dawson County Housing Authority, a non-profit public housing agency based in Glendive, Montana, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (PIHIO) to administer public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies. The organization operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contract work or subcontract engagements in the source data.

Dawson County Housing Authority receives formula grant awards under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.871). Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and related capital activities as described in 24 CFR Part 905; Operating Fund grants provide subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The organization's recent award activity spans seven formula grants awarded between February 2023 and April 2026, with ultimate completion dates extending through March 2030. Representative awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a second Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030. Combined dollars obligated across all seven awards total $445 thousand.

Dawson County Housing Authority's federal funding is narrowly concentrated with a single customer — the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of awards across the portfolio. Activity has remained modest and relatively flat, averaging roughly two awards per year over the past four years with one award facing recompete in the next twenty-four months. The organization's operational footprint is limited to Glendive, Montana and serves as a formula-grant administrator within the national network of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies serving nearly one million units in all fifty states and territories.
