Housing & Redevelopment Authority

Housing & Redevelopment Authority Housing And Redevelopment Authority Division, doing business as Laker Apartments, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Mountain Lake, Minnesota, that receives federal operating and capital grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to manage and maintain low-income public housing units.

Laker Apartments operates exclusively as a recipient of HUD formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund program and the Public Housing Capital Fund program, with no federal contracting footprint. The vendor's entire federal award portfolio consists of 36 formula grants (100% prime recipient awards, no sub-awards) distributed across two HUD programs spanning from 2006 to the present. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.3 million. The vendor serves a single customer agency: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Laker Apartments' grant activity reflects a consistent cadence of two awards per year across 2022 through 2026. Recent grants include Public Housing Operating Fund awards (assistance type: formula grant) with ultimate completion dates extending through December 2032, awarded January 1, 2026; Public Housing Capital Fund awards (assistance type: formula grant) with completion dates through May 12, 2029, awarded May 13, 2025; and prior-year Public Housing Operating Fund and Capital Fund awards dating back to 2022. Grant descriptions indicate recipients use operating funds for day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital fund activities focus on public housing development, modernization, development, and management improvements as defined in 24 CFR 905.200 and approved 5-year action plans. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete opportunities in that window. Laker Apartments' federal footprint is narrow and concentrated — the vendor is a single-agency recipient operating within the statutory framework of Section 9 of the Housing Act of 1937, not a service provider or contractor selling capabilities to the federal government.
