Evart Housing Commision

Evart Housing Commission, doing business as Centennial Arms, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Evart, Michigan, that receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements and operating expenses. The entity operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of awards) with no federal contract work, and serves a single customer agency — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — across its entire award portfolio.

Evart Housing Commission functions as a recipient under two recurring HUD grant programs administered through the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides funding for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure activities under 24 CFR Part 905. A representative Capital Fund award granted on April 1, 2026 carries $290,343 in formula-allocated funding running through March 31, 2030, with obligated work focused on capital and management activities supporting low-income housing stock in Evart. The Public Housing Operating Fund supports day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventive maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation across the authority's public housing inventory. A representative Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026 runs through December 31, 2032, funding the authority's operating and maintenance expenses under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Both programs distribute funding through formula allocation reflecting each housing authority's inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, and construction costs — rather than through competitive application processes.

Award activity has been steady and cyclical. The source documents forty grants spanning from 2006 through April 2026, with two awards per year in the most recent five-year window (2022–2026). Combined dollars obligated across all grants total $7.4 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure limited to those two cycles. The Evart Housing Commission's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated: it receives Capital Fund and Operating Fund allocations exclusively from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no diversification across customer agencies, no federal contracting activity, and no subcontractor relationships. This grant-only profile reflects the statutory formula structure of HUD's housing authority funding, which distributes capital and operating assistance directly to local housing authorities rather than through competitive procurement vehicles.
