Kingsford Housing Commission

Kingsford Housing Commission, a Michigan-based tax-exempt public housing authority headquartered in Kingsford, operates as a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contracting footprint. The organization receives recurring annual allocations under two primary HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund, both of which fund the agency's operational, capital, and modernization activities serving low-income residents in the Kingsford area.

Kingsford Housing Commission's federal funding is concentrated entirely on HUD—all 41 awards in the source data derive from the Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization has received formula grants continuously since at least 2006, with recent allocations including a $190,668 Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), a $190,668 Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and corresponding Operating Fund allocations for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total approximately $5 million. The agency operates exclusively as a grant recipient—no subcontract relationships or prime contract awards appear in the source data.

Capital Fund monies support public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, unit development and acquisition, and management improvements necessary to maintain Kingsford's housing inventory to federal standards. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Both programs require compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and obligate full expenditure within the award period. Activity has remained steady at approximately two awards per calendar year across the past five years. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete or renewal cycles under HUD's standard formula-grant process.
