Colfax Housing Authority

Colfax Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Colfax, Louisiana, is a formula-grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering public housing capital and operating funds for low-income residents in its jurisdiction. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) with no federal contract prime or subcontract activity; all federal funding flows through HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund programs.

Colfax Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grant awards under two programs. The most recent award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, is a $289,283 Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant supporting capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements. A second active award under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides $146,172 in operating subsidies effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, utility costs, security activities, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Both programs are formula-allocated to the approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide rather than competitively awarded; funding amounts reflect established formulas based on inventory characteristics including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

Colfax Housing Authority's customer concentration is singular: 100% of the 44 total awards in the source data derive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing $8.9 million in combined obligated dollars across a twenty-year span beginning in 2006. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal opportunity within that window. The authority receives no federal contracts, holds no seats on government-wide vehicles or agency IDIQs, and operates no subcontracting relationships with federal prime contractors.
