Muskegon Heights Housing Commission

Muskegon Heights Housing Commission is a U.S. local government entity headquartered at 615 E Hovey Ave, Muskegon Heights, Michigan, registered with SAM.gov since July 29, 2005. The organization serves as a public housing authority responsible for providing affordable housing solutions to low-income residents in the Muskegon area. Through federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, the Housing Commission receives formula-based grants to fund the operational, maintenance, and capital improvement activities necessary to deliver decent, safe, and sanitary housing to vulnerable populations including families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities.

The Muskegon Heights Housing Commission has received consistent federal funding through two primary HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Recent award activity includes two operating fund grants totaling approximately $651,345 effective from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, along with a $1,203,131 capital fund grant awarded in May 2025 with completion scheduled for May 2029. Operating fund grants support day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses. Capital fund grants finance modernization, development, management improvements, construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, emergency repairs, and infrastructure enhancements to maintain adequate housing inventory. The Housing Commission's award history extends back to at least 2021, demonstrating sustained participation in HUD's formula grant programs designed to support approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationwide. The organization functions as a direct prime awardee rather than a subcontractor, managing all granted funds independently to serve its public housing portfolio and resident population in Muskegon, Michigan.
