Housing & Redevelopment Authority

Housing & Redevelopment Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Cottonwood, Minnesota, is a public housing agency that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund capital improvements, operational expenses, and management activities for public housing stock and residents in its service area. HRA acts exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of its recent awards), not as a federal contractor or subcontractor.

HRA's federal footprint consists entirely of formula-based grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two recurring programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides funding for modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency enhancements, and emergency repairs to HRA's public housing inventory, with capital funds constrained to eligible activities under 24 CFR Part 905 and tied to approved five-year action plans or HUD-approved emergency work requests. The Public Housing Operating Fund provides operating and maintenance subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation for HRA's public housing dwellings. Recent award examples include a $102,250 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a Public Housing Operating Fund grant running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and prior-year Capital Fund awards with ultimate completion dates between 2026 and 2029. HRA serves as prime recipient on all awards; no sub-recipient or contracting relationships appear in the source data.

HRA's customer concentration is absolute: all 41 awards across the past five years derive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing $2.8 million in combined dollars obligated. Activity remains stable at two awards per year, with four awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.
