City Of Dearborn Housing Department

City of Dearborn Housing Department (operating as Housing Dept), a U.S. local government housing authority based in Dearborn, Michigan, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents. The organization acts exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contracting activity; all 71 awards in its footprint are formula-based or project grants under the Public Housing program.

Dearborn Housing receives funding under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The most recent Operating Fund award (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032) carries a combined annual allocation of $485,359 across multiple funding cycles. Capital Fund grants enable modernization, development, construction, rehabilitation, and energy efficiency improvements to the public housing inventory, with the most recent Capital Fund award ($867,089, April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030) supporting infrastructure upgrades and emergency repairs. Dearborn Housing has also received project grant funding under HUD's JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative (awarded June 1, 2023, completing May 31, 2026), which supports employment and self-sufficiency programming for public housing residents.

The organization's customer base is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which issued all 71 awards over the past two decades. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $24.8 million. Activity has remained relatively stable at four awards per year over the past five years. Five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete exposure for the organization's next funding cycles. Dearborn Housing operates no federal contracting business; its role is limited to direct receipt and administration of formula-based operating and capital grants to sustain public housing operations and modernization in Dearborn.
