Montcalm County Housing Commission

Montcalm County Housing Commission is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since April 15, 2009, specializing in housing authority services for Montcalm County, Michigan. Located in Howard City, the organization is structured as a public housing authority focused on providing affordable housing solutions for low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. The housing commission is dedicated to managing public housing assets, maintaining residential properties, and delivering essential housing support services to vulnerable populations in the local community.

Through federal grant awards primarily from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, Montcalm County Housing Commission has consistently received formula grants supporting two critical programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund and the Public Housing Capital Fund. These grants enable the housing commission to fund day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance activities, management improvements, and capital development projects for public housing units. The grants support comprehensive activities including routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy efficiency improvements, resident supportive services, and infrastructure modernization. Specific grant activities encompass physical structure improvements, utility upgrades, code compliance efforts, vacancy reduction strategies, and ensuring housing units remain decent, safe, and sanitary. The federal funding allows the housing commission to maintain approximately 96% occupancy rates in habitable units while promoting inclusive communities and providing affordable housing options for low-income families, elderly residents, and individuals with disabilities.
