City Of Housing Authority Of

City of Housing Authority of Bay City Housing Authority Division, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority, serves as the prime recipient of federal housing formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. This is not a federal contractor; it is a public entity receiving direct grant funding to support public housing operations and capital improvements in Bay City, Texas.

The Bay City Housing Authority operates exclusively within two HUD grant programs that fund public housing authorities nationwide. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the authority receives recurring annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security operations, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the authority receives formula-based capital grants to finance eligible capital activities defined in 24 CFR 905.200, including construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements to its low-income public housing inventory. Recent awards include a $245,540 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and a $170,747 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. Both programs allocate funding through standardized formulas rather than competitive selection, based on characteristics such as unit count and building age.

The Bay City Housing Authority's entire federal footprint concentrates on HUD as the sole customer agency. Over the past five years, the authority received two awards per year, with 41 total awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to the present. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $8.1 million. The authority operates as a prime recipient only — it does not subcontract federal grant work. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete window. The authority functions within the national Public Housing Operating Fund ecosystem, which distributes approximately $5 billion annually across roughly 6,000 housing authorities serving 902,436 households, and the Public Housing Capital Fund program, which serves approximately 2,770 public housing agencies managing nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories.
