Indiana Housing And Community Development Authority

Indiana Housing And Community Development Authority, a quasi-public state agency and child entity of the State of Indiana, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient and pass-through fiscal intermediary, distributing federal homelessness, affordable housing, and energy assistance funding to local nonprofits, community action agencies, and public housing authorities across Indiana's 92 counties. IHCDA does not compete for federal contracts, hold SBA certifications, or pursue set-aside categories; it receives formula and project grants from HUD, HHS, and DOE and functions as the state-level administrator for multiple federal housing and community development programs.

IHCDA's federal grant footprint centers on HUD's homelessness and housing programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 492 awards (83% of IHCDA's total award count), anchored by the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which dominates recent activity. CoC awards fund permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems across Indiana. Representative CoC grants include $2.449 million obligated July 1, 2026, distributed through sub-recipients across the state; $1.775 million obligated December 1, 2025, for domestic violence rapid rehousing through seven sub-recipients; and $1.5 million obligated September 1, 2026, for statewide CoC activities. IHCDA also administers HUD's Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239; $13.583 million, September 18, 2025), Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231; $3.947 million, September 22, 2025), Housing Trust Fund (CFDA 14.265; $3.296 million, September 18, 2025), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (CFDA 14.241; $2.237 million, September 18, 2025). IHCDA holds a Section 811 Project Rental Assistance cooperative agreement (CFDA 14.326; $640 thousand, February 17, 2026) running through February 2046, funding rental assistance for extremely low-income persons with disabilities.

The Department of Health and Human Services funds 72 awards (12% of total), predominantly through formula grants. IHCDA administers the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (CFDA 93.568; $160.865 million obligated October 1, 2025, and $4.758 million for infrastructure supplement), serving 22 sub-grantee community action agencies and nonprofits. IHCDA also distributes Community Services Block Grant funding (CFDA 93.569; $27.263 million, October 1, 2025) to 24 community action agencies and local entities across the state. The Department of Energy funds Weatherization Assistance Program awards (CFDA 81.042; most recent award April 1, 2025), supporting whole-house retrofits for low-income households across Indiana. HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control funds lead-based paint hazard control (CFDA 14.905) and older adult home modification programs (CFDA 14.915). The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded $1 million (CFDA 16.812, October 1, 2022) for permanent supportive housing serving formerly incarcerated individuals with substance use disorders on Indianapolis's Near East Side.

Recent activity remains consistent but shows modest year-over-year variation: 42 awards in 2022, 38 in 2023, 39 in 2024, 34 in 2025, and 15 recorded in 2026 (representing partial-year data as of September). Forty awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the recompete window for statewide formula allocations and regional CoC project grants. IHCDA operates from Indianapolis, Indiana, with administrative oversight at 30 S Meridian St, and distributes federal funds statewide across Indiana's geographic footprint. As a state entity, IHCDA does not engage in federal contracting competition, holds no parent contract vehicles, and places no task orders under GWACs or IDIQs. The agency's primary federal footprint is grant distribution and fiscal intermediary administration, not procurement-based vendor activity.
