Southern Iowa Rgnal Hsing Authority

Southern Iowa Rgnal Hsing Authority is a U.S. local government entity—specifically a public housing authority based in Creston, Iowa—that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and family self-sufficiency programs serving low-income residents in the Southern Iowa region. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula and project grants from HUD under four primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) delivers capital grants for modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to the authority's public housing inventory; the most recent award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, carries $332,214 in potential value. The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program funds coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to support employment and self-sufficiency initiatives for public housing residents, housing choice voucher holders, and project-based rental assistance participants. Recent FSS awards span January 2022 through December 2026 as project grants with annual performance periods.

All 55 awards in the source data flow from a single customer agency: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100% of the authority's federal funding. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $11.6 million. The authority has received grant awards continuously since at least 2006, with recent annual activity spanning three to six awards per year (2022–2026). Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face renewal or recompete cycles typical of formula grant administration. The authority's grant portfolio is characteristic of a mid-sized public housing authority operating within HUD's statutory framework for preserving and operating affordable housing stock serving approximately 44% elderly residents and 35% families with children across its Southern Iowa service area.
