South ST Paul Housing & Redevelopment Authority

South St. Paul Housing & Redevelopment Authority, a not-for-profit public housing agency headquartered in South St. Paul, Minnesota, operates as a prime recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no federal contract prime or subcontractor activity.

The Authority's federal footprint is entirely grant-based and concentrated in two recurring HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) account for the overwhelming majority of recent awards. Recent grants include a $870,480 Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, which supports public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades; a $233,006 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, preventative maintenance, anti-crime initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation; and a $180,821 Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, supporting the same operational activities. The Authority's capital work is performed in South St. Paul and serves low-income residents, with funding eligible for activities specified in an HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or for emergency work. Both programs operate as formula-based allocations reflecting inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive applications.

Customer concentration is absolute: the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 61 of 69 total awards (88%), with the Environmental Protection Agency (4 awards), the HUD Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner (2 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (1 award), and the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (1 award) rounding out the five distinct agencies served. Activity has remained steady at three awards per year across the past five years. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $29.9 million. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present potential recompete touchpoints.
