Verdigre Housing Authority

Verdigre Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Verdigre, Nebraska, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing capital and operating programs. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient on HUD grants; it does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, BPAs, or any other contracting vehicles.

Verdigre Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund). The CFP provides financial assistance to carry out capital activities including public housing development, modernization, management improvements, and other eligible activities described in 24 CFR Part 905, with funds restricted to projects specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work. The PH OpFund provides operating subsidies to assist in funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent grants include a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion March 31, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026, with completion December 31, 2032; and a prior Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024, with completion May 5, 2028.

The Authority's customer concentration is absolute: all 39 awards in the source data come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, the single federal agency relationship. Activity has remained flat at approximately two awards per year over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $1.3 million. Two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. The Authority does not engage in federal contracting and does not serve as a subrecipient on grants; it functions as a direct prime recipient of federal formula grants administered under the Housing Act of 1937, with no teaming relationships or sub-award activity documented in the source data.
