South Central MN Multicounty HRA

South Central MN Multicounty HRA, a U.S. county government entity and housing authority based in North Mankato, Minnesota, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program coordination services. The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contract prime or subcontract activity in the source data.

South Central MN Multicounty HRA's federal footprint consists entirely of FSS grants awarded by HUD under Section 23 of the Housing Act and Section 306 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. FSS grants fund the salaries and fringe benefits of FSS coordinators who implement workforce development and self-sufficiency programming for residents of public housing, Housing Choice Vouchers, and project-based rental assistance properties. Coordinators enroll and maintain families in the program, prepare individual training and services plans, and build partnerships with employers and community service providers. Each funded coordinator position must serve a minimum of 25 participating families in the first year, with the requirement increasing by 50 families for each additional funded position. Over the typical 5-7 year participation period, participating families work toward employment, wage improvement, and other self-sufficiency goals.

The vendor has received five FSS project grants since 2022, with award dates of January 1 in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, and corresponding ultimate completion dates of December 31 in those same years. Combined obligated dollars across all twelve awards in the source data total $635 thousand. The vendor's customer concentration is singular — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of awards. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure on that grant cycle.
