Housing & Redevelopment Authority Of Fergus Falls, MN

Housing & Redevelopment Authority Of Fergus Falls, MN is a local government housing authority that receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and development activities in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under two formula-grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management costs, routine and preventive maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service on public housing developments. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides multi-year capital allocations to support housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and development of additional public housing units. Both programs distribute funds through HUD's standardized formula reflecting the authority's public housing inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, and construction costs — rather than through competitive selection. The authority's work must align with its HUD-approved five-year action plan or qualify for emergency repairs related to non-presidentially declared natural disasters and is subject to compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Recent grant activity shows steady annual awards: two grants per year across 2022 through 2026. The source names a $176,972 Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026 running through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026 running through December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 running through May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2025 running through December 31, 2031. Older awards from 2024, 2023, and 2022 follow the same pattern. The authority has received 37 total grants since 2006, with $4.2 million combined obligated across all awards, and faces four awards completing within the next twenty-four months. All work is performed in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, with a single customer agency across the entire portfolio — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.
