Royal Oak Township Housing Commission

Royal Oak Township Housing Commission, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Ferndale, Michigan, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in the Detroit metropolitan area.

Royal Oak Township Housing Commission operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two HUD programs. The Commission receives formula grants under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) to fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for its public housing portfolio. The Commission also receives formula grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to support capital and management activities including facility modernization, physical infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and development-related financing. Recent awards include a $419,965 operating fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) and a $337,887 capital fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030). The Commission directly administers all federal funds with no identified sub-recipient relationships, utilizing HUD-provided web-based platforms for real-time portfolio monitoring, funding-level tracking, occupancy metrics, and household-served reporting.

The Commission's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within a single customer: the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 41 awards in the source portfolio spanning from 2006 through April 2026. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $17.4 million. Annual award activity has been consistent at two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal processing by that window.
