Martin Housing Authority Inc.

Martin Housing Authority Inc., a U.S. local government housing authority based in Martin, South Dakota, is a prime recipient of federal housing grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not as a federal contractor — administering public housing capital and operating funds across its portfolio.

Martin Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.873). The Capital Fund provides financial assistance for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and other eligible activities under 24 CFR Part 905. The Operating Fund provides subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent grants include a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2025, completing December 31, 2031; and a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028.

The organization is the sole customer agency across its entire award footprint — all 39 awards in the source data flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contract prime awards, no federal contract vehicle seats, and no sub-awards. This monolithic customer concentration reflects Martin Housing Authority's status as a direct recipient of formula grants rather than a vendor competing in the federal marketplace. Activity is steady at approximately two awards per year across the past five years, with two awards scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all thirty-nine awards total $2.8 million, representing the cumulative grant funding the housing authority has received since its first recorded federal award in 2006. Martin Housing Authority operates as a housing authority within the statutory framework of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended, administering federal rental assistance and public housing capital improvement funds for its local portfolio.
