Rolette County Housing Authority Inc.

Rolette County Housing Authority Inc., a local government entity based in Rolette, North Dakota, receives federal housing grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing operations and capital improvement programs for low-income residents. The authority operates as a direct recipient of formula-based grants; it does not serve as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or grant sub-recipient on any federal awards.

The authority's entire federal footprint derives from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued 49 formula grants to Rolette County Housing Authority Inc. since 2006. The portfolio splits between two primary grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, anti-crime and security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports capital modernization, infrastructure improvements, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities. Recent awards include a $944,720 capital grant (award date March 11, 2026, completion March 10, 2028), a $184,928 capital grant (award date April 1, 2026, completion March 31, 2030), and an operating fund award of $131,464 (award date January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2032). Funds flow directly to the authority for obligation and expenditure; the authority maintains no prime contractors or subcontractors against these grants and is responsible for compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and federal housing regulations.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years, with two to four grants awarded annually, and combined dollars obligated across all 49 awards totaling $11.2 million. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for the authority's annual funding cycles. The authority has maintained an active federal grant registration history since 2009.
