Fairbury Housing Authority

Fairbury Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority headquartered in Fairbury, Nebraska, is a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving formula grants to fund public housing operations, modernization, and maintenance in its service area. Fairbury Housing Authority does not hold federal contracts as a prime contractor or subcontractor and does not participate in federal contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grant awards as a prime recipient.

Fairbury Housing Authority's grant portfolio spans two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and debt service. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.889) supplies operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, management and administration, security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance. The authority's most recent award was a $117,243 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting capital improvements and management activities in Fairbury's public housing inventory. Prior awards under the same programs include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant running January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029. All grants are formula-based allocations with no competitive application process; HUD calculates awards using characteristics of the authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts and building age. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements throughout performance periods.

Fairbury Housing Authority's activity is steady and predictable: two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated across all awards reaching $4.2 million. The entire award footprint derives from a single customer agency — the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office — reflecting the formula-grant structure of federal public housing funding. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting routine recompete cycles as new formula allocations roll forward under the same federal programs.
