Hancock County Housing Authority

Hancock County Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Dallas City, Illinois, is a recipient of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office formula grants for public housing capital improvement and operating-fund administration, functioning as a prime grantee (100% of awards) with no federal contracting footprint.

Hancock County Housing Authority operates as a U.S. local government entity and does not engage in federal contracting. Its federal activity consists exclusively of recipient role in HUD formula grant programs. The authority receives recurring annual allocations under two primary grant vehicles: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA program providing day-to-day operational subsidies for housing maintenance, management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA program funding modernization, development, and capital improvements to public housing inventory under 24 CFR Part 905). Hancock County Housing Authority's customer base is singular — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of its award activity.

The authority's recent grant portfolio reflects regular biennial and annual cycles. Representative awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion March 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, with ultimate completion March 31, 2030. The source data spans 2006 through April 2026, with consistent annual awards (two per year over the last five years), indicating stable recurring access to formula-grant funding. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete or renewal activity in that window.

Combined dollars obligated across all awards on record total $2 million, reflecting the relatively modest scale of this specific housing authority's federal footprint — typical for a small municipal PHA. The authority does not hold contract vehicles, does not operate as a subcontractor, and does not pursue competitive federal contracting; its transactional relationship with HUD is limited to formula-grant administration and compliance under the Housing Act of 1937.
