Housing Authority Of County Of Union

Housing Authority Of County Of Union is a local government housing authority serving Union County, Illinois, that operates as the direct recipient of federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital modernization, development, and operations — not as a federal contractor or service vendor. The authority receives formula-based grants under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850).

The authority's federal funding footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across 54 formula grant awards spanning twenty years. Recent grants include a $1.176 million Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, and management enhancements to the authority's public housing portfolio; a $248,395 Public Housing Operating Fund award running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation; and earlier capital and operating grants dating to at least 2022. Total dollars obligated across all awards in the source data span $26.5 million over the visible award history. The authority holds no federal contracts and does not serve as a subrecipient or subcontractor; all awards are prime grants received directly from HUD under formula allocation rather than competitive selection, with no identified sub-awardees. Activity has been consistent at three awards annually across 2022–2026. Three grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing renewal or reallocation points under the formula program cycle.
