Bryson Housing Authority

Bryson Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Bryson, Texas, is a federal grant recipient administering public housing operations and capital improvement programs for the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contracting activity; all 41 recent awards are formula grants from HUD supporting public housing operations and modernization.

Bryson Housing Authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within a single grantor agency — the Department of Housing and Urban Development — which accounts for 100% of recent awards. The authority serves as prime recipient on two recurring HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP), which funds public housing development, modernization, and management improvements under 24 CFR Part 905. Representative awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion May 5, 2028.

Activity has remained flat over the past five years (two awards each in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026; four in 2023), with a combined $1.9 million obligated across the entire forty-one-award footprint. Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete in that window. The authority does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles and does not work as a subcontractor to federal prime contractors; its role is strictly as a grant recipient administering HUD formula grant funds for local public housing operations and capital improvements in Bryson, Texas.
