Waseca Housing And Redevelopment Authority

Waseca Housing and Redevelopment Authority, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Waseca, Minnesota, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient—100% of its federal award footprint comprises direct formula grants to support public housing operations and capital improvements, with no federal contracts or subcontracted work in the source record.

The Authority's federal work centers on two recurring HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.877) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards provide annual subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs. Capital Fund awards support modernization, development, facility upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and infrastructure improvements to the Authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant of $140,711 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; an Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with completion by May 12, 2029; and an Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. All activities align with the Authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work, and the Authority maintains compliance with audit and administrative requirements under 2 CFR 200 and the Housing Act of 1937.

The Authority's customer concentration is singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the 39 total awards in the source record, spanning twenty years of grant activity. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3 million. Activity has remained steady at two awards per year over the past five years, with two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. The Authority operates as a typical public housing agency within HUD's national network of approximately 2,770 PHAs serving nearly one million public housing units across all fifty states and territories.
