Shenandoah Low Rent Hsing Agency

Shenandoah Low Rent Housing Agency, operating as Forest Park Manor, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Shenandoah, Iowa that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing for low-income residents. The agency is a prime recipient of HUD grants exclusively; it does not hold federal contracts, contract IDVs, or subcontracts, and it operates in a single-customer relationship with HUD.

Forest Park Manor's federal footprint consists entirely of Public Housing formula grants under two programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.867) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), both administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Operating fund grants provide annual subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for the agency's public housing portfolio. Capital fund grants support infrastructure upgrades, public housing modernization, development activities that add or significantly reconfigure units, energy efficiency improvements, and emergency repairs. Recent awards include a $167,070 Public Housing Capital Fund grant dated April 1, 2026 (ultimate completion March 31, 2030), a Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026 (ultimate completion December 31, 2032), a $167,070 Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029), and a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2025 (ultimate completion December 31, 2031).

Award activity remains steady and narrow: two grants per year across the past five years (2022–2026), with a combined $5 million obligated across forty-one total awards. All awards are prime grants; the agency does not subcontract. The Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of awards and funding. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating a recompete window for renewal of those underlying grant cycles. The agency's grants are formula-based allocations to a single local housing authority; competitive procurement and teaming relationships are not applicable to this federal grant structure.
