Housing Authority

Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Rockdale, Texas, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund the operating and capital expenses of its public housing portfolio.

Housing Authority is a municipal entity—not a for-profit vendor, contractor, or subcontractor—and operates exclusively as a grant recipient. All 46 awards in the source are prime federal grants; the entity has no contract awards, no subcontract roles, and no participation in federal contract vehicles. The single customer agency is HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of awards across the past five years (2022–2026).

Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on two recurring HUD formula-grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to support day-to-day operational expenses, management and maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs at the authority's public housing facilities. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for modernization, development, management improvements, and other capital activities—including major renovations, new construction, and management system enhancements—at public housing units within Rockdale's jurisdiction. Recent grants include a $109,986 Public Housing Operating Fund award on January 1, 2026 (period through December 31, 2032), a $204,907 Public Housing Capital Fund grant on April 1, 2026 (period through March 31, 2030), and a $2 million Public Housing Capital Fund award dated September 8, 2023 (period through September 7, 2027). Combined obligated dollars across the award footprint total $7.8 million. Activity has remained steady at two to four awards per year. Two grants will complete within the next twenty-four months and face potential recompete or renewal.

Housing Authority's structure and role reflect the statutory framework of the Housing Act of 1937: it is a direct recipient of federal housing assistance, not a competitive vendor or contractor serving other federal agencies. The authority implements programs directly with no identified sub-recipients and does not hold federal contract vehicles or compete under set-asides.
