Comanche Housing Authority

Comanche Housing Authority is a U.S. local government public housing authority based in Comanche, Texas, that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operating expenses. The Authority operates as a prime recipient of HUD grants only — it holds no federal contracts, contract vehicles, or subcontracting relationships — and serves exclusively a single federal customer across a portfolio of forty-nine awards spanning two decades.

The Authority's grant work centers on two overlapping HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development or acquisition of additional housing units; the Authority has received multiple Capital Fund allocations, with recent awards including a $178,314 formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and a prior allocation awarded May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029. The Public Housing Operating Fund provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; the Authority receives recurring annual operating allocations, with the most recent awarded January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. All capital and operating activities align with 24 CFR Part 905 and must be specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work.

Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for one hundred percent of the Authority's forty-nine awards and obligated dollars. Activity has been stable, ranging between two and three awards per year since 2022, with combined dollars obligated across the full portfolio standing at $5.4 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing that volume to recompete or renewal in the near term. The Authority's role is distinctly that of a grant recipient managing federal housing funds for low-income residents in its Comanche jurisdiction, not a service provider or contractor to federal agencies.
