Goldenrod Regional Housing Agency

Goldenrod Regional Housing Agency, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Wisner, Nebraska, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS), a housing-mobility initiative governed by Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act. The Agency competes for and receives annual FSS grants solely as a prime recipient; it has no federal contract work and does not subcontract on other federal awards.

Goldenrod Regional Housing Agency's entire federal footprint comprises eleven FSS grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, awarded annually between 2022 and 2026. The grants fund salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who serve families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance properties. Under each annual grant, the Agency must hire and retain one full-time coordinator for each funded position and maintain a minimum of twenty-five participating families for the first coordinator, increasing by fifty families per additional coordinator. Coordinators enroll and maintain families in the program, develop Individual Training and Services Plans, and build partnerships with employers and service providers to support participant employment and wage improvement over the five- to seven-year program cycle. Recent awards include FSS grants for calendar years 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with the 2026 award completing on December 31, 2026.

The Agency's federal activity is extremely concentrated: all eleven awards come from a single customer, HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with a combined obligation of $695 thousand across the entire award portfolio. The 2026 FSS grant is the only award with completion scheduled in the next twenty-four months. Activity frequency is steady but low — one award per year — reflecting the annual renewal structure of the FSS program and Goldenrod Regional Housing Agency's role as a locally focused public-housing-focused grantee rather than a federal contractor or prime vendor.
