Housing Authority Of County Of Lawre

Housing Authority Of County Of Lawre is a U.S. local government entity and county housing authority based in Lawrenceville, Illinois, that receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents in Lawrence County. As a grant recipient, the Housing Authority does not compete for federal contracts and does not engage in federal procurement; instead, it receives annual formula allocations under two core HUD grant programs.

The Housing Authority's grant footprint centers exclusively on HUD's Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing units, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program costs under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. A representative Operating Fund award granted $171,154 effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, with an earlier award of similar structure running from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2030. The Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, housing rehabilitation, management improvements, and energy efficiency upgrades. A recent Capital Fund award of $431,043 runs from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; earlier awards include grants dated May 2025, May 2024, and February 2023, each carrying multi-year performance periods. Both programs are formula-based allocations driven by public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than competitive selection. The Housing Authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's Information Management System and Public Housing Information Center certification throughout each performance period.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is singular: 100% of 38 awards across the source data trace to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Combined dollars obligated total $10.5 million. Award frequency has remained flat at approximately two grants per year over the past five years. Two awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal under the formula-grant cycle. The Housing Authority operates solely as a grant recipient; it has no federal contract prime awardees, no sub-awards, and no participation in contract vehicles or IDIQs. Its mission is the stewardship of public housing inventory serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities and 902,436 households nationally under the broader Public Housing Operating Fund and Capital Fund programs.
