City Of Timpson

Timpson Housing Authority, a division of the City of Timpson, Texas, is a U.S. local government housing authority that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements, operating as a formula-grant recipient rather than a federal contractor.

The Authority's entire federal footprint derives from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which distributes 95% of awards as prime grants and 5% as sub-awards. Timpson Housing Authority received ten prime formula grants over the past several years under two primary federal grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to public housing inventory; and the Public Housing Operating Fund, which subsidizes day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses. Representative recent awards include a $120,576 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, for capital and management activities including modernization, development, physical infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and safety enhancements; a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant running January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, for ongoing operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, and resident supportive services; and a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029. The Authority also received two sub-awards in August 2022 related to wastewater and water improvements citywide and a downtown revitalization project addressing ADA sidewalks, ramps, lighting, and drainage.

Activity is flat and modest — two awards per year in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with combined dollars obligated across all awards in the source totaling $3.6 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority's grant work operates under 24 CFR Part 905 compliance requirements and the Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR 200, with funds restricted to activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. As a formulaic recipient, Timpson Housing Authority does not compete for these awards; funding is distributed automatically to all approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide based on statutory allocation formulas rather than competitive application.
