Saginaw Housing Commission

Saginaw Housing Commission, a non-profit public housing authority based in Saginaw, Michigan, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident support programs. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards are prime grants, not contracts or subcontractual work), with no involvement in federal contracting or subcontracting relationships.

Saginaw Housing Commission's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely within HUD's public housing grant programs. The Public and Indian Housing Office funds 161 awards across two principal grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides formula-based operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, 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-intensive modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to the agency's housing stock. Recent operating fund awards include $156,071.50 obligated February 19, 2026, for operations through December 31, 2030; $167,983 allocated January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and multiple sequential year allocations of $141,245, $162,870, $124,638, and $182,356 for similar operational periods. A $1,739,287 Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supports construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, and infrastructure upgrades to serve low-income residents. Additionally, the agency receives Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program grants funding coordinator salaries to serve public housing residents; the most recent FSS award ran from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development contributes 78 awards to the portfolio, though the source does not itemize those programs by name or magnitude.

Activity has remained steady at 8–10 awards per year across the past five years, with 15 awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. A single grant sub-award appears in the source: an electrical panel upgrade at Elmwood Manor, dated September 23, 2024, for which Saginaw Housing Commission served as sub-recipient. The organization does not serve as a prime contractor on federal service or supply contracts and does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles or agency IDIQs. For federal contractors seeking partnership opportunities, Saginaw Housing Commission functions solely as a grant-funded public housing agency with no procurement or subcontracting authority; business development in the public housing space would require alignment with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office capital or operating fund initiatives or coordination with construction and maintenance vendors eligible to bid on the agency's capital projects.
