Alto Housing Authority

Alto Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing agency headquartered in Alto, Texas, receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer capital improvements and operating subsidies for public housing units serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. Alto Housing Authority operates as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards are prime grants) under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

Alto's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer: the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of all awards in the source data. The agency receives recurring formula grants under two primary programs — the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Capital Fund awards support modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of public housing units in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905 eligible activities. Operating Fund awards cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent awards include a $173,564 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund grant effective May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029. All expenditures are documented through HUD's Information Management System and subject to compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and federal audit requirements.

Activity has remained flat across recent years — two awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — with combined dollars obligated across all thirty-six awards totaling $4.4 million. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal in that window. Alto Housing Authority has received federal grant awards dating to 2006 and operates as a recipient of formula-based allocations under congressionally authorized housing programs serving approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide.
