Public Housing Commission in Marshall, Minnesota is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing facilities serving low-income residents. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two HUD formula-grant programs and has no federal contract work or subcontractor relationships.

Public Housing Commission is a single-customer recipient entirely dependent on HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 40 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 through April 2026. The organization receives ongoing formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Recent awards include a $143,972 operating fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The organization also received a $388,942 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, which supports capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and debt service.

Funding must comply with 24 CFR Part 905 and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the organization is required to maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
