Housing Authority Of Wayne County

Housing Authority of Wayne County, a U.S. local government entity based in Fairfield, Illinois, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to operate and modernize public housing infrastructure serving low-income residents in Wayne County. The authority operates as a direct grant recipient (100% of recent awards), not as a contractor or subcontractor, and holds no federal contract vehicles or procurement authority.

The Housing Authority of Wayne County's entire federal footprint consists of HUD grants under two primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including facility modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional public housing units, subject to the authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan and eligible activities defined in 24 CFR Part 905. Recent capital fund grants include awards effective May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029; May 6, 2024, through May 5, 2028; and February 17, 2023, through February 16, 2027. A recent operating fund grant effective January 1, 2026, carries completion through December 31, 2032, with a $210,276 allocation. Most recent is a $575,217 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030.

The Housing Authority of Wayne County serves a single federal customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (51 awards, 100% of the award footprint, $15.7 million combined obligated value). Activity is stable at approximately two awards per year over the past four years. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal or recompete timing. As a local government housing authority, the Housing Authority of Wayne County does not hold GSA Schedules, GWACs, IDIQs, or other parent contract vehicles; federal contractor relationships with this entity flow from subcontracting opportunities on HUD-funded capital projects and modernization work, not from procurement awards to the authority itself.
