Dewitt County Housing Authority

Dewitt County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Clinton, Illinois, operates as the sole recipient of federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving formula grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) to support capital improvements, modernization, and day-to-day operational expenses for public housing serving low-income residents in DeWitt County.

The authority has received 41 federal awards totaling $20 million in combined obligations over the past two decades, with all funding sourced from a single customer agency — the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent grant activity includes a $813,107 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2030, and a $251,333 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032. Both grants fund eligible activities under 24 CFR Part 905, including infrastructure improvements to existing public housing units, development and acquisition of additional units, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The authority is required to obligate and expend capital funds in accordance with an approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work, maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, and comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements under 2 CFR 200.

Award activity has remained flat at two grants per year across the most recent five-year period (2022–2026), all formula-based allocations calculated using established formulas rather than competitive application processes. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's near-term renewal cycle under the Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund programs serving approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contracting vehicle experience and no subcontractor engagement.
