Lake Norden Housing Authority

Lake Norden Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Lake Norden, South Dakota, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving recurring annual allocations under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund programs rather than competing for federal contracts.

Lake Norden Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity classified as a housing authority and operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contract footprint and no subcontracting relationships. The authority administers capital and operating grants directed toward public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and day-to-day operational expenses including routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services. Recent capital fund awards cover the period May 2024 through May 2029 and January 2026 through March 2030, while operating fund grants run through December 2031 and December 2032.

The authority's federal award portfolio consists entirely of HUD grants flowing through a single customer agency. The 35 awards in the source data span from 2006 through April 2026, with a steady pattern of two awards per year from 2022 forward — reflecting the recurring annual cycle of capital and operating fund allocations common to all Public Housing Agencies. Combined dollars obligated across the entire award history total $1.4 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete window aligned with HUD's standard annual grant renewal timeline.

Lake Norden Housing Authority's federal role is characteristic of small public housing authorities: the entity does not contract with the federal government or procure goods and services through competitive federal vehicles. Instead, it receives direct formula-grant funding from HUD to operate and maintain its public housing portfolio. The authority is not a vendor to federal agencies in the traditional procurement sense; it is a grant recipient and public-sector administrator responsible for deploying HUD capital and operating funds within its service area.
