Blooming Grove Housing Authority

Blooming Grove Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Blooming Grove, Texas, is a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving annual formula grants for public housing operations and capital improvements rather than competing for federal contracts.

Blooming Grove Housing Authority operates as a U.S. local government entity — a public housing authority under 24 CFR Part 905 — with no contracting capacity and 100% of its federal funding derived from HUD formula grants. The authority receives recurring annual allocations under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (PHOPFUND), which covers day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP), which funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and capital acquisitions as described in 24 CFR 905.200. Recent grants include a Public Housing Operating Fund allocation awarded January 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2031, and a Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030. An additional Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, extends through May 12, 2029.

The authority's federal funding footprint is narrowly concentrated. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office represents 100% of awards — all 38 grants in the source data — with a combined obligation of $1.3 million across the observed period. Activity has remained steady at two grants per year since 2022, reflecting the cyclical nature of HUD's formula-grant distribution to public housing agencies serving approximately 2,770 housing authorities nationwide. Two grants face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Blooming Grove Housing Authority does not serve as a subrecipient, does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, and does not engage as a subcontractor to federal prime contractors; its role is exclusively as a direct grantee administering federal public housing funds for the benefit of its resident population.
