Jo Daviess County Housing Authority

Jo Daviess County Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity based in Galena, Illinois, that has been registered to receive federal awards since March 2009. As a public housing authority, the organization serves low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities by managing and operating public housing units within Jo Daviess County. The authority operates as a housing provider that leverages federal funding to maintain safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for vulnerable populations throughout the county.

The Jo Daviess County Housing Authority has received consistent federal grant awards exclusively through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, specifically through two primary formula grant programs. Since 2021, the authority has received recurring awards under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund grants, such as the $142,617 award issued on January 1, 2026, provide subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses necessary to maintain public housing units and serve residents. The Capital Fund grants, exemplified by the $256,951 award from May 13, 2025, support modernization and development activities, capital improvements, and management enhancements to the authority's housing inventory. These formula grants have been awarded on an annual or semi-annual basis throughout the 2021-2026 period, with completion dates extending through 2032, indicating sustained federal support for the authority's core mission of providing and maintaining affordable housing infrastructure and services to its community. The authority does not appear to have any prime or subcontractor partnerships reflected in the award history provided.
