Livingston County Housing Authority

Livingston County Housing Authority, a county-level public housing agency based in Pontiac, Illinois, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities throughout Livingston County. The authority operates as a federal grant recipient — not as a prime contractor or subcontractor — under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

The authority's federal funding footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 56 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to the present. Recent awards include a $365,595 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, supporting day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation; a $791,260 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant dated April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, allocated toward public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of additional housing units, and management enhancements per the authority's approved five-year action plan; and prior-year formula grants under both programs with award dates through May 2024 and ultimate completion dates extending through 2032.

Activity has remained stable at two awards annually across the past five calendar years (2022–2026), with combined dollars obligated across all federal sources totaling $23.9 million. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete in that window. As a direct recipient of formula grant funding under the Housing Act of 1937, the authority manages public housing operations and capital projects within Livingston County and complies with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's Information Management System inventory documentation requirements. The authority uses web-based platforms with real-time data analytics to track funding levels, occupancy rates, and the number of families served across its public housing portfolio.
