Morgan County Housing Authority

Morgan County Housing Authority, a county government entity headquartered in Jacksonville, Illinois, receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to support public housing operations and capital improvements across its portfolio serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in Morgan County. The Authority acts exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts, subcontracts, or sit on IDIQs, GWACs, or other contracting vehicles.

The Authority's federal footprint comprises 80 formula grants spanning the past twenty years, all awarded by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with $38.1 million in combined obligations. Recent award activity runs consistently at four grants per year (2022–2026). The portfolio splits between two primary funding streams: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades as specified in the Authority's five-year action plan or as approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work. Recent named awards include a $1,415,509 Public Housing Capital Fund grant (effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), multiple Public Housing Operating Fund awards ranging from $178,024 to $290,358 (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), an emergency safety and security grant (August 29, 2024 through August 28, 2026), and a prior-year Public Housing Capital Fund grant (May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2028). Five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating routine renewal cycles for the Authority's operating and capital funding. All grants operate under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, with obligated funds required to be spent by their respective ultimate completion dates.
