Housing Authority Of Aitkin

Housing Authority of Aitkin (doing business as Aitkin County HRA), a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Aitkin, Minnesota, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operational subsidy funding.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient under HUD's Public Housing programs. All 41 awards in the source data are formula grants from the Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contracts, subcontracting relationships, or multi-agency customer base. The authority's funding streams are concentrated across two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure repairs, energy efficiency initiatives, and construction or acquisition of additional public housing units; and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine maintenance, anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Recent representative awards include a $376,519 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), a $121,470 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a prior Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029). These grants support the Housing Authority's provision of decent, safe, and affordable housing for low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Aitkin area, in compliance with the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.

Funding concentration is absolute and narrow: 100% of the authority's award portfolio (41 awards, $9.8 million combined obligated value) derives from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no exposure to other federal agencies or customer diversification. Activity has remained flat across the past five years — two awards annually in 2022 through 2026 — with only two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing routine recompete cycles typical of annual or multi-year housing authority grant allocations.
