Grand Forks Housing Authority Of CIT

Grand Forks Housing Authority Of CIT, a U.S. government entity and local housing authority based in Grand Forks, North Dakota, is a prime recipient of federal grant funding focused on homelessness prevention and family economic self-sufficiency in its service area. The organization does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; it operates exclusively as a grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Grand Forks Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on two HUD grant programs. The Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), administered by HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, funds eight grant awards providing permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems across the community. Recent CoC awards include a $177,979 grant effective January 1–December 31, 2026, a $208,597 award dated October 1, 2025 (completing September 30, 2026) focused on youth homelessness under the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program framework, and a $0 placeholder award dated July 1, 2025 (completing June 30, 2026). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, funds twelve awards supporting FSS Program Coordinators who deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. A recent FSS grant of $150,766 effective January 1–December 31, 2026 funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to serve at least 25 participating families during the performance period, with expectations that families achieve employment and wage progression outcomes over five to seven years. The organization also received one HUD grant sub-award from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration — a $1,163,000 amended award dated May 6, 2024 supporting construction of a learning center and rehabilitation of kitchen and common areas at the Ruth Meiers Adolescent Center, a treatment facility for adolescents with serious mental health issues.

Grant activity has accelerated modestly, from two awards annually in 2022–2023 to five in 2025, with combined dollars obligated of $10.2 million across twenty-three total awards (prime and sub). Three awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The organization operates as prime recipient on 91% of awards, with one additional sub-award from a third party (property acquisition for permanent supportive housing, amended March 19, 2025).
