Romulus Housing Commission

Romulus Housing Commission, a Michigan-based local government housing authority, receives federal grant funding exclusively as a direct recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities. The Commission does not compete for federal contracts and operates entirely through HUD formula grants; it neither acts as a subcontractor nor passes through funds to sub-recipients.

The Commission's grant portfolio consists solely of two recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides day-to-day operational subsidies for property management, routine and 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 funds capital improvements including modernization, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, and emergency repairs. Recent representative awards include a $230,557 operating fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, a $273,047 capital fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 with ultimate completion March 31, 2030, and a prior-year capital fund grant awarded May 6, 2024 with completion May 5, 2028. Place of performance is Brownstown Township, Michigan. All activities comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, and the Commission maintains cumulative cost records for HUD review and independent auditor examination.

Since 2022, HUD has obligated $11.3 million across 44 awards to the Commission, representing 100 percent of its federal funding. The Commission's award cadence has accelerated modestly — two awards in 2022 and 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026 — reflecting the staggered re-obligation cycles of the two underlying formula grant programs. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require successor re-obligation to maintain continuous funding for operations. The Commission operates no federal contracts or IDVs and holds no seat on GWACs, BPAs, or agency schedules; its relationship with the federal government is limited to direct HUD grant receipt as a local housing authority under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
