Montezuma Housing Investments LLC

Montezuma Housing Investments LLC, doing business as Housing Authority Of The County Of Montezuma, is a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing authority headquartered in Cortez, Colorado that operates as the sole recipient of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office formula grants supporting public housing operations and capital improvements in Montezuma County. The organization holds no federal contracts and does not compete for procurement work; it receives direct allocation of operating and capital funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development under two formula grant programs serving low-income residents through publicly owned housing portfolio management.

Montezuma Housing's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.871) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund provides annual subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; awards under this program are active for calendar-year periods running from January 1 through December 31 in multiple overlapping tranches. The Capital Fund provides grants for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and physical structure enhancements that add to or reconfigure the authority's unit inventory; capital grants run for four-year performance periods. Recent awards include an April 1, 2026 Capital Fund formula grant ($111,524, completing March 31, 2030), a January 1, 2026 Operating Fund award (completing December 31, 2032), and a May 13, 2025 Capital Fund award (completing May 12, 2029). All expenditures must align with eligible activities in the authority's 5-Year Action Plan or be HUD-approved emergency work, and compliance is governed by 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The authority maintains 100% customer concentration with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued 43 awards totaling $3.3 million in combined obligated funds over the past two decades. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Montezuma Housing operates in a formula allocation framework rather than a competitive procurement or grant application process; no recompete cycle applies, as HUD allocates Operating and Capital Fund resources through statutory formulas based on inventory characteristics such as unit count, building age, and construction costs.
