Sterling Heights Housing Commission

Sterling Heights Housing Commission, doing business as Schoenherr Towers, is a U.S. local government housing authority that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a recipient under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) programs. The organization is a child entity within the National Church Residences corporate structure, a non-profit parent organization based in Columbus, Ohio.

Sterling Heights Housing Commission operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract awards or subcontract involvement. The organization receives formula-allocated federal funding under two core HUD programs to support operations and capital improvements for its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Recent grant awards include a $198,812 Public Housing Operating Fund allocation (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) for day-to-day operational expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; and a $333,983 Public Housing Capital Fund award (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) for capital activities including construction, acquisition, facility modernization, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades for the Schoenherr Towers property. The organization has received consistent funding under both programs since at least 2022, with prior awards dating to 2023 through 2025 across multiple fiscal years.

Customer concentration is singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole funding agency, accounting for 100% of the organization's 41 awards in the source data. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $9.9 million. Activity remains flat at approximately two awards per year across the five-year period (2022–2026), reflecting the predictable formula-grant allocation cycle. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering standard recompete cycles under HUD's formula methodology. Sterling Heights Housing Commission operates as a pure recipient entity with no role as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or consortia member on federal contracts or other transaction agreements.
