Grant County Housing & Redevelopment Authority

Grant County Housing & Redevelopment Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Elbow Lake, Minnesota, is a Public Housing Agency (PHA) that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements, modernization, and operational expenses for public housing serving low-income residents in Grant County.

The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a federal contractor or subcontractor. Its entire federal footprint consists of direct formula-grant awards from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two primary federal programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The Authority does not compete for or hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; its relationship with the federal government is limited to HUD grant administration as a designated PHA.

Grant County Housing & Redevelopment Authority's recent grant work funds public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, unit acquisition and development, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt-service payments. A representative Capital Fund award issued April 1, 2026, carries $241,491 and runs through March 31, 2030; obligated funds must align with the Authority's five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. Operating Fund awards, issued annually under formula allocation, support day-to-day operational expenses and administrative overhead. A current Operating Fund award issued January 1, 2026, runs through December 31, 2032. Prior Capital Fund awards dated May 13, 2025 ($241,491 through May 12, 2029), May 6, 2024, and February 17, 2023 follow the same structure.

The Authority's customer base is singular: 100% of its 39 awards across the past two decades originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no diversification across other agencies or contract vehicles. Activity remains flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing routine recompete exposure tied to HUD's annual or multi-year formula-grant cycles. Combined dollars obligated across all recent awards total $5.1 million, reflecting the formula-grant nature of PHA funding — standardized allocations based on unit count and need rather than competitive procurement. The Authority operates with no identified federal subcontractors and does not serve as a prime or sub on any federal contracts.
