Cabool Housing Authority Office

Cabool Housing Authority Office is a U.S. local government housing authority recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating exclusively under formula-grant programs rather than federal contracts or competitive procurements. The Authority is based in Cabool, Missouri and receives all 45 recent awards from a single customer agency — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — reflecting the nature of public housing authorities as direct federal grant recipients under statutory formulas rather than competitive vendors.

Cabool Housing Authority Office operates as a formula-grant recipient under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.870) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund provides subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service at the Authority's public housing portfolio. The Capital Fund supports public housing modernization, development, facility improvements, and the acquisition of additional units specified in the Authority's five-year action plan, governed by 24 CFR Part 905. Awards are formula-based allocations calculated according to each Public Housing Agency's inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, construction costs — rather than through competitive application processes. The most recent award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, was a $106,625 Public Housing Capital Fund grant supporting capital activities and facility improvements in Cabool. Earlier awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029) and recurring Public Housing Operating Fund grants spanning 2022 through 2032. The Authority must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and submit comprehensive budgets and cost records to HUD for review and independent audit.

Activity has remained flat across recent years — two awards in both 2025 and 2026 — with only two awards (both formula grants) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all 45 awards total $3.9 million, reflecting the typical size and scope of public housing authorities serving smaller communities. The Authority serves no role as a prime contractor on federal contracts, does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles (GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs), and does not subcontract on federal work. As a public housing authority, Cabool Housing Authority Office functions as an end-recipient and administrator of federal housing grants rather than as a federal services or goods vendor available for teaming or subcontracting arrangements with federal contractors.
