Minneapolis Housing Authority

Minneapolis Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Minneapolis, Kansas, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, development, and operating expenses. The authority does not contract as a prime or subcontractor to federal agencies; its entire federal award footprint consists of HUD grant receipts under two programs — the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund.

Minneapolis Housing Authority has received 38 formula grant awards since 2006, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated of $4.2 million across the portfolio. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022 through 2026). The authority's recent grant activity includes a $175,281 Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities designed to add or reconfigure public housing units; a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation; and a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. Formula allocations under both programs are calculated annually based on established formulas reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs, rather than through competitive application processes. Four awards hold ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal applications. The authority must utilize all funds exclusively for eligible activities specified in its HUD-approved five-year action plan or activities approved by HUD for emergency work, and must maintain accurate inventory data and budgetary records subject to audit requirements under 2 CFR 200.
