Clarendon Housing Authority

Clarendon Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Clarendon, Texas, receives formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office under two primary federal programs to support public housing operations and capital improvements. The authority is a prime recipient of grants, not a federal contractor; it does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively within the HUD grant framework.

Clarendon Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Capital Fund grants support public housing development, modernization, and financing activities that add to or reconfigure public housing units, with eligible activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster work. Recent awards include a $207,931 Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, with performance through March 31, 2030; a $156,339 Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with completion scheduled for May 12, 2029. Performance for all awards takes place in Clarendon, Texas.

The authority has received 40 federal awards over the past two decades, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined obligations of $5.4 million. Activity is stable at two awards per year in 2022 through 2026. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete activity for the authority. The Public Housing Operating Fund and Capital Fund are formula-grant programs distributed nationwide — the Operating Fund distributes approximately five billion dollars across roughly six thousand housing authorities, while the Capital Fund serves approximately twenty-seven hundred public housing agencies serving nearly one million units. Clarendon Housing Authority maintains inventory information in the HUD Information Management System and submits annual certifications; awards are subject to 2 CFR 200 audit requirements and are audited in conjunction with the authority's regular HUD or independent public accountant audit.
