Housing Authority Of City Of Alton

Housing Authority Of City Of Alton receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient under the Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund programs, administering formula grants to support public housing infrastructure, modernization, maintenance, and operations in Alton, Illinois.

Housing Authority Of City Of Alton is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority structured as a municipal corporation. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime recipient on federal grants with no subcontracting activity across its award footprint. All fifty-one recent awards derive from a single customer agency — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office — representing 100% of award volume and the combined obligated dollars across its federal footprint.

The Housing Authority's recent grant portfolio centers on two core HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Under the Capital Fund program, the Housing Authority has received formula grants to support public housing modernization, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements. Recent Capital Fund awards include a $1,033,831 formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, and an earlier Capital Fund award of May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The Housing Authority received a $581,710 Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and earlier Operating Fund grants dating to January 1, 2022.

The Housing Authority's award activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years, with two to three awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete opportunity. The combined obligated dollars across all awards total $31.9 million, reflecting the formula-based allocation methodology tied to the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics and operational needs in serving low-income residents in its Illinois jurisdiction. As a government entity rather than a for-profit vendor, the Housing Authority operates outside standard competitive procurement frameworks and does not pursue contracts as a prime contractor or subcontractor.
