Centerville Housing Authority

Centerville Housing Authority, a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing agency based in Centerville, Texas, is a recipient of formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and Public Housing Operating Fund programs. The authority operates 100% as a prime grant recipient with no federal contracting or subcontracting activity; all 37 awards in its recent federal footprint are formula-based grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The Centerville Housing Authority's mission centers on ensuring low-income residents access to decent, safe, and sanitary housing through the management and modernization of public housing units. Its grant work funds two primary activities: capital improvements and operating expenses. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, and financing activities such as debt service payments, drawn from the authority's approved five-year action plan or for emergency repairs resulting from non-presidentially declared natural disasters under 24 CFR Part 905. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventive maintenance, security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation required under the Housing Act of 1937. Representative recent awards include a $137,246 Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, with completion December 31, 2032; and a $137,246 Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with completion May 12, 2029.

Centerville Housing Authority's customer concentration is singular — the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of awards. The authority has no participation in federal contracting vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs; its relationship with the federal government is confined to formula-grant distributions under Section 9 of the Housing Act of 1937. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all 37 awards totaling $3.2 million. Two awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months and will cycle through recompete or renewal under HUD's standard formula grant process. Centerville Housing Authority is one of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide participating in these programs, collectively managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories.
