Town Of Cottonport Housing Authority

Town Of Cottonport Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Cottonport, Louisiana, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (HUD PIH) for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient — 100% of its 36 awards across the source data window originate from HUD PIH, with no subcontractor or sub-recipient relationships.

The Authority's federal footprint centers on two recurring HUD PIH programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides multiyear formula grants for modernization, development, infrastructure, and energy efficiency upgrades to public housing inventory; the Authority received a $171,250 Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and earlier Capital Fund awards dating to 2022. The Public Housing Operating Fund provides operating and maintenance subsidies to support day-to-day expenses, routine maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative overhead; the Authority received an Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. Both programs are formula-based allocations calculated from Public Housing Agency characteristics — unit counts, building age, construction costs, occupancy, and service demand — rather than competitive applications.

The Authority's activity profile is steady and narrow. It has received two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated standing at $4.2 million across all 36 awards in the source window. Two awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting routine recompete opportunity as formula grants roll forward on annual or multiyear cycles. HUD PIH accounts for 100% of award count and dollars obligated. The Authority must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's Information Management System certification requirements across all funded activities, and capital work must be documented in an approved Five-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD as emergency or disaster-related work. The Authority serves low-income residents in Cottonport with formula-funded public housing operations and capital maintenance across its portfolio.
