Wellington Community Housing

Wellington Community Housing (Wellington Housing Authority Division) is a local government housing authority headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado that receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital and management activities under the Public Housing Capital Fund program (CFDA 14.872).

Wellington operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contracting footprint. The housing authority has received 32 formula-grant awards over its award history, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no subcontracting activity. The vendor obligated $3.6 million across all awards and serves a single customer agency. Recent grant awards include a $130,892 Public Housing Capital Fund allocation for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a prior $130,892 grant awarded May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029, and grants dated May 6, 2024 and February 17, 2023. The housing authority implements capital improvements directly without issuing sub-awards, consistent with its historical practice as a local government entity.

Award frequency has declined in recent years — two grants in 2022, one each in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — indicating a regularized annual or periodic formula-grant cycle rather than growth trajectory. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Eligible activities under Wellington's grants include public housing modernization, physical improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, development, and emergency repairs, all contingent upon inclusion in the housing authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan or HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work. Expenditures must comply with 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards), and the housing authority maintains accurate records and certifies its public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
