Housing Authority Of Calhoun County

Housing Authority Of Calhoun County is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Hardin, Illinois that receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, modernization, and capital improvements serving low-income residents in Calhoun County. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it holds no federal contracts as a prime, sub, or on any federal contract vehicle.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.873) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs required under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital grants to support modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure upgrades according to the authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or for emergency repairs and non-presidentially declared natural disaster work under 24 CFR Part 905. Recent capital grants include a $133,605 award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and earlier grants dating back at least to May 2022. Operating fund awards run on calendar-year cycles, with recent grants covering periods from January 1 through December 31 across multiple years.

All 35 awards in the source data (2022–2026) are HUD Public and Indian Housing Office grants; the authority serves a single customer agency and competes within the formula allocation mechanism rather than pursuing full-and-open or set-aside contracts. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $4.3 million. Activity is stable at two awards annually. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting routine recompete cycles under the formula grant program renewal process. The authority does not engage in contract priming, subcontracting, or teaming; its federal footprint is confined to receipt and administration of HUD housing assistance grants.
