Imperial Valley Housing Authority

Imperial Valley Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Brawley, California, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula-based funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing portfolio. The organization does not compete for federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD programs.

Imperial Valley Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office grants, with all eleven recent awards flowing from a single customer agency. The authority receives formula grants under three primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. Operating Fund grants provide day-to-day operational subsidies for management, maintenance, security, energy, resident services, and insurance costs; recent awards total approximately $1.1 million combined across multiple fiscal years (January 2026 through December 2032 performance periods). The Capital Fund provides modernization and development funding; a $2.025 million award issued April 1, 2026, runs through March 31, 2030, and covers capital improvements and management enhancements at the Brawley location. A Family Self-Sufficiency Program award issued January 1, 2026, funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who serve public housing residents and housing choice voucher holders in employment and self-sufficiency training.

All grants are formula-based allocations requiring no competitive application; HUD calculates each authority's share based on characteristics of its public housing inventory reported to the Information Management System. The authority's combined obligated dollars across all awards total $6.8 million, with one award (the Operating Fund grant cycle) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Imperial Valley Housing Authority operates public housing dwellings serving lower-income families in Imperial Valley, California, and maintains no federal contract vehicle positions, no prime contract awardees, and no subcontracting relationships in the federal space. The organization's role is exclusively that of a direct HUD grant recipient administering federal housing programs at the local level.
