Jackson County Housing Authority

Jackson County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and county housing authority based in Murphysboro, Illinois, receives federal grant funding exclusively from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime grant recipient under multiple HUD housing programs. The Authority operates as a public housing agency administering federal housing capital and operating funds for low-income residents in Jackson County, Illinois, and does not hold federal contracts or compete in federal procurement; all federal funding arrives through formula grants and project grants under HUD's housing programs.

Jackson County Housing Authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer agency: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office has issued 169 awards since 2006, representing $75.7 million in combined obligations. The Authority receives recurring formula grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), and Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.888), along with periodic project grants under specialized initiatives such as the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative. Recent representative awards include a $2,726,577 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) supporting capital and management activities for public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, and development; concurrent Public Housing Operating Fund formula grants totaling $1,162,010 (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) covering day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation; a $1,328,397 Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Project Grant (September 8, 2023 through September 7, 2027) for risk assessments, inspections, abatement, interim controls, and clearance examinations to address lead-based paint and other housing-related environmental hazards; and an $810,525 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant (September 8, 2023 through September 7, 2027).

Activity has been uneven over the past five years, with 9 awards in 2022, 12 in 2023, 10 in 2024, declining to 3 in 2025, and 5 awards recorded as of April 2026. Nine awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete or renewal. The Authority's federal funding universe remains limited to HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office grant portfolio; the Authority holds no federal contracts, sits on no contract vehicles or GWACs, and operates no subcontracting relationships at the federal level.
