Inkster Housing Commission

Inkster Housing Commission, a tax-exempt public housing authority based in Inkster, Michigan, receives federal operating and capital grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund day-to-day operations, maintenance, modernization, and resident economic mobility programs across its public housing portfolio. The entity is 100% grant-funded as a prime recipient and has no federal contract footprint; all 94 recent awards are HUD formula grants rather than competitive procurements.

Inkster Housing Commission's grant portfolio concentrates entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The agency acts as a formula-grant recipient under three core HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports physical modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits for employment and economic mobility services to families in public housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. Representative recent awards include a $2.8 million Public Housing Capital Fund allocation effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, an $899,737 Public Housing Operating Fund award covering January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $116,058 Family Self-Sufficiency Program project grant for the calendar year 2026.

Activity over the past five years shows modest volume (three to six awards annually), with the most recent award issued April 20, 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $108.9 million. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure for HUD as grantor but automatic renewal opportunity for Inkster Housing Commission given the statutory priority given to renewal applicants in the FSS program and the formula-based allocation structure of both the Operating Fund and Capital Fund programs.
