Housing Authority Of The City

Housing Authority Of The City Benkelman Housing Authority Division is a local government housing authority based in Benkelman, Nebraska, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and modernization activities. The entity operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two recurring HUD formula grant programs and holds no federal contracts or contract vehicles.

The Benkelman Housing Authority is structured as a U.S. local government entity classified under Housing Authorities Public/Tribal. Its entire federal award footprint—35 awards spanning the past several years—comprises formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives recurring annual allocations under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source), which funds day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs associated with public housing operations; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA not specified in source), which supports public housing development, modernization, and management improvements. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded on May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded on January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and another Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded on April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030. The authority has also received prior-year capital and operating fund awards dating to 2022, with earlier grants documented as far back as 2006.

The authority's customer concentration is singular and absolute—all 35 awards originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100% of documented activity. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2.6 million. Activity has remained consistent, with two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting potential recompete opportunities in the immediate term. The authority operates as a 100% prime recipient with no subcontract or sub-recipient activity; it receives federal funding directly to administer its public housing portfolio rather than contracting with vendors or partnering with other entities.
