Ionia Housing Commission

Ionia Housing Commission, operating as Pine Vista Apartments, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Ionia, Michigan, that receives formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing for low-income residents. The organization functions exclusively as a federal grant recipient, not as a contractor, and operates Pine Vista Apartments as its primary housing asset serving the Ionia community.

The Ionia Housing Commission's entire federal footprint derives from HUD's Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) programs, the two core federal support mechanisms for public housing authorities nationwide. The organization has received nine formula grant awards over the past several years, with two active awards as of the most recent award date in April 2026. The Operating Fund grant obligated on January 1, 2026 ($143,614) provides day-to-day operational subsidies through December 31, 2032, covering property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 ($314,447) runs through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development of public housing units in accordance with the authority's five-year action plan. Earlier awards under both programs, dating to at least 2022, reflect the formula-based, recurring nature of Public Housing Agency funding; the authority has received Capital Fund allocations in May 2025, May 2024, February 2023, and May 2022, with concurrent Operating Fund grants awarded annually in January.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of the Ionia Housing Commission's $9.1 million in combined obligated dollars across all awards. The organization operates as a prime recipient on all awards with no subcontractor role. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete activity in that window under HUD's formula grant processes. The Ionia Housing Commission's federal relationship is structural and ongoing — formula-based entitlements to a Public Housing Agency rather than competitive procurement — and centers on sustaining affordable housing operations and capital investment for approximately 2,770 PHAs nationwide serving nearly one million public housing units.
