Woodford County Housing Authority

Woodford County Housing Authority, a county-level government entity headquartered in Eureka, Illinois, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.872 and operating-fund grants). The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not as a federal contractor — and receives all its federal funding through HUD's formula-allocation programs for public housing operations and capital improvements.

Woodford County Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund grants awarded under formula methodology to support modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, routine and preventative maintenance, management operations, anti-crime and security activities, and debt service for public housing units serving low-income residents in Woodford County. The most recent award, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, is a Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant of $129,204 supporting capital and management activities including development, modernization, and financing activities as described in 24 CFR 905.200. Prior awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2031; and a series of earlier Public Housing Capital Fund and Operating Fund awards dating to 2022. The authority has received thirty-six total federal awards spanning from 2006 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated of $3.9 million.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is the sole customer agency across the authority's federal grant portfolio. All awards are formula-based allocations under the Public Housing programs; the authority does not compete for discretionary grants or federal contracts. Four grants reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and will require reapplication or renewal under HUD's formula methodology. Woodford County Housing Authority operates as a prime recipient with no sub-award activity. The authority receives annual or multi-year formula grants on a consistent cadence — two awards per year across 2022 through 2026 — reflecting the periodic distribution cycle of HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund and Operating Fund programs to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide.
