The Housing And Redevelopment Authority Of ST. Cloud, Minnesota

The Housing And Redevelopment Authority Of ST. Cloud, Minnesota is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient — 100% of its federal awards are grants administered directly by the Authority, with no federal contracting activity or subcontract work. The Authority competes only in federal grant programs; it does not hold federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or seats on federal vehicles.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD funding under two program lines. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 83 of the Authority's 131 federal awards, funding capital improvements, modernization, operating expenses, and development of public housing stock serving low-income residents in the St. Cloud metropolitan area. The Authority receives formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), and project grants under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which accounts for the remaining 48 awards. Recent CoC grants include a $625,296 project grant effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and a $173,257 project grant effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, supporting permanent housing, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Under the Public Housing Capital Fund, the Authority received a $936,699 formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to public housing units. Public Housing Operating Fund awards, including a $147,397 formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $106,083 formula grant also effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, fund day-to-day operational expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation.

Combined dollars obligated across all 131 awards total $30.9 million. Award volume has remained flat to modest over the past five years — nine awards in 2022 and 2024, seven in 2023, six in 2025, and five in 2026 — reflecting the formula-grant and annual project-grant structure characteristic of HUD's public housing and homeless assistance programs. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will cycle into recompete. The Authority operates exclusively within HUD's housing and homelessness programs; it has no defense, civilian IT, infrastructure, or commercial customer base.
