Rapid River Housing Commission

Rapid River Housing Commission, a not-for-profit organization based in Rapid River, Michigan, is a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving formula grants for public housing operations and capital improvements rather than competing for federal contracts.

Rapid River Housing Commission operates exclusively as a grant recipient — 100% of its 36 awards in the source are prime grants with no subcontract activity. The organization is categorized as a "Other Not For Profit Organization" structure and serves a single customer agency: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. All awarded activity flows through two formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850, or similar designation) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services. Capital Fund grants enable public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and related capital activities under 24 CFR Part 905. Recent awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; and a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029.

The organization has maintained steady activity over the past five years, averaging two awards annually since 2022, with combined dollars obligated across all 36 awards totaling $1.6 million. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete exposure on those grant renewals. The award portfolio spans from July 2006 to April 2026, indicating sustained HUD participation across two decades. As a housing authority recipient rather than a federal contractor or service provider, Rapid River Housing Commission does not appear on prime contract vehicles, does not engage in subcontracting relationships on federal contracts, and does not hold GSA Schedules or GWAC seats — its federal footprint is narrowly confined to formula grant administration within the public housing assistance system.
