Housing & Redevelopment Authority Of International Falls, MN

Housing & Redevelopment Authority Of International Falls, MN, doing business as Housing & Redevelopment Authority Of International MN, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in International Falls, Minnesota that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing. The authority operates as a prime grant recipient, not a contractor, with 100% of its federal awards (35 total) flowing through HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) formula-grant programs.

The Housing & Redevelopment Authority's Woodland Park Apartments division serves low-income residents through capital and operational funding earmarked for modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, routine maintenance, management enhancements, and anti-crime and security activities. Recent grants include a $196,643 Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031). These represent recurring annual allocations under HUD's formula-based distribution model, which bypasses competitive application processes and distributes funding to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide based on established criteria such as unit inventory, building age, and construction costs.

Federal grant activity has been consistent at two awards per year since 2022, with combined federal obligations across all thirty-five awards totaling $3.9 million over the past two decades. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating potential recompete or renewal cycles in the immediate term. The authority has no federal contracts, no parent contract vehicles, and no subcontract relationships; its entire federal footprint is restricted to HUD formula-grant programs operated by the Public and Indian Housing Office.
