City Of Williston Housing Authority

The City of Williston Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Williston, North Dakota, receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing inventory serving low-income residents. The Authority acts exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of its recent awards) and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants provide annual subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance. Capital Fund grants support capital improvements and modernization activities specified in the Authority's five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work, including public housing development, modernization, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs. Recent awards include a $194,947 Operating Fund grant obligated on January 1, 2026 with performance through December 31, 2032, and a $323,241 Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 with completion targeted for March 31, 2030.

Activity has remained consistent at two awards per year across the 2022–2026 period, with a combined $8.3 million obligated across all 35 awards in the source data spanning back to 2006. The Authority's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore will enter the recompete cycle during that window. The Authority's federal funding portfolio serves approximately one million public housing units nationwide through approximately 2,770 public housing agencies; its own public housing inventory operates within this national context under the 1937 Housing Act framework and must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's Information Management System/Public Housing Information Center certification processes.
