Franklin County Housing Authority

Franklin County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in West Frankfort, Illinois, is a federal grant recipient operating under two formulaic HUD grant programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Authority does not hold prime contracts or subcontracts; all 117 federal awards in its recent footprint are formula-grant allocations to support public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in Franklin County.

Franklin County Housing Authority receives recurring operating subsidies to fund 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. Most recent Public Housing Operating Fund awards include a $306,279 allocation effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a $204,396 allocation covering the same period; a $270,479 allocation; and a $129,465 allocation. The Authority also holds a $2,429,047 Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, designated for facility modernization, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development activities that enhance or reconfigure its public housing inventory. An earlier Public Housing Capital Fund award of unspecified dollar amount was issued May 6, 2024 with completion date May 5, 2028.

All 117 awards serve a single customer: the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office, which distributes formula-based allocations to approximately 2,770 public housing authorities nationwide serving nearly one million units. Awards per year have remained stable at six annually over the past five years. Twelve awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete exposure or grant renewal cycles. The Authority's combined dollar obligation across all awards totals $66.3 million, with awards spanning from July 2006 to April 2026. Franklin County Housing Authority operates entirely as a grant recipient with no subcontracting footprint and does not compete for or hold federal contracts, IDIQs, or BPAs.
