Burnet Housing Authority

Burnet Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Burnet, Texas, acts as a direct recipient of federal housing grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The organization does not hold federal contracts and does not serve as a subcontractor; all 40 awards in its recent footprint are prime federal grants under two formula-based programs serving low-income public housing residents in Burnet.

Burnet Housing Authority's grant portfolio divides between the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The Capital Fund provides resources for modernization of existing public housing units, development and acquisition of additional inventory, management improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities including debt service for standard and mixed-finance developments. A recent award dated April 1, 2026, carries $118,369 in Capital Fund support through March 31, 2030. The Operating Fund provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management and administration, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. An Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026, runs through December 31, 2032. Both programs are formula-based allocations tied to each agency's public housing inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, and construction costs — rather than competitive application processes.

Customer concentration is complete: all 40 awards originate from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, and combined dollars obligated total $3.5 million across the footprint. Activity is stable at two awards per year over the past five years. Two awards (combined obligation data not itemized in the source) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Burnet Housing Authority's role is as a direct beneficiary of federal housing formula grants, not as a contractor selling services or goods to the federal government; this profile places it outside the typical federal contractor competitive landscape and makes it relevant only for partnership or acquisition scenarios involving low-income public housing asset ownership or management in Texas.
