Ogle County Housing Authority

Ogle County Housing Authority, a county-level government entity headquartered in Oregon, Illinois, receives formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing units within its jurisdiction. The authority operates as a prime recipient of federal housing grants — its entire award footprint consists of HUD Public and Indian Housing formula grants — and does not contract as a prime or subcontractor on federal service or supply contracts.

The authority's federal grant portfolio centers on two recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.873), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including management, routine preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which finances modernization, development, construction, acquisition, rehabilitation of public housing units, and management improvements. Recent awards include a $642,278 Public Housing Capital Fund grant issued April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant issued January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; a $642,278 Public Housing Capital Fund grant issued May 13, 2025, running through May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant issued January 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2031. Capital funds are restricted to eligible activities specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency or disaster-related work and must be tracked in HUD's Information Management System and Public Housing Information Center system.

Activity is steady at two awards per year across a five-year lookback (2022–2026), with a combined total of 22 awards obligating $7.7 million. Customer concentration is absolute — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority maintains no federal contract vehicles, holds no subcontract relationships, and does not engage as a subrecipient on grants; all federal funding flows directly to Ogle County Housing Authority as the primary recipient from HUD.
