Housing & Redevelopment Authority

Housing & Redevelopment Authority, doing business as Pine River Housing And Redevelopment Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Pine River, Minnesota, that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operating expenses. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund programs; it does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

Pine River HRA's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer agency — the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 41 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to the present. Recent grant activity includes a $104,231 Public Housing Capital Fund formula award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, and energy efficiency upgrades of public housing units serving low-income residents in Pine River. The authority also holds concurrent Public Housing Operating Fund allocations for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine repairs, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation — obligations that began January 1, 2025, and run through December 31, 2031. Additional active capital-fund awards span completion dates through May 2029 and February 2027, reflecting staggered multi-year capital planning cycles typical of public housing authorities nationwide.

Awards have remained flat at two per calendar year across the past five years (2022–2026), with combined dollars obligated across all forty-one awards totaling $3.4 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing routine recompete cycles tied to HUD's annual formula grant allocations rather than competitive procurement exposure. As a government entity, Pine River HRA does not employ set-aside contract strategies, price to federal schedules, or compete against for-profit contractors; it qualifies for and receives formula-based allocations alongside approximately 2,770 other public housing agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories under the Housing Act of 1937.
