Fairmont Housing Authority

Fairmont Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Fairmont, Nebraska, is a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards) that receives operational and capital funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing units. The entity does not hold prime federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles; all federal work flows through HUD formula grants directed at public housing administration, maintenance, and capital improvement.

Fairmont Housing Authority receives funding exclusively from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across two primary grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day maintenance, management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service on the authority's housing portfolio. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) finances capital projects including modernization, development of additional housing units, management improvements, and emergency work. Recent grant awards include an operating-fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, with completion December 31, 2032; a capital-fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion March 31, 2030; a capital-fund formula grant awarded May 13, 2025, with completion May 12, 2029; and a capital-fund formula grant awarded May 6, 2024, with completion May 5, 2028. The authority has received two grant awards per calendar year from 2022 through 2026, indicating a stable, repeating funding cycle aligned with HUD's annual and multi-year operating and capital appropriations.

Combined dollars obligated across all 38 awards total $1.1 million. Four awards (the two most recent operating-fund grants and two capital-fund grants) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete or renewal in that window. The authority's footprint is entirely dependent on a single federal customer — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — with no diversification across agencies, no contract prime experience, and no subcontracting role. Fairmont Housing Authority operates as a formula-grant recipient managing a local public housing portfolio under federal compliance and reporting requirements, not as a federal service or product vendor.
