Cumby Housing Authority

Cumby Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Cumby, Texas, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively under HUD's Public Housing programs as a prime recipient with no subcontracted relationships. The authority receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing operations and capital improvements within its jurisdiction.

Cumby Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula-grant funding from a single customer agency—HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office—across two primary grant programs. The authority currently holds ten active federal grants, all awarded as formula grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) and Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund). Representative awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2025, with ultimate completion on December 31, 2031; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion on May 5, 2028. Under the Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.872), Cumby Housing Authority funds public housing modernization, development, and management improvements as described in 24 CFR Part 905, including construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of public housing units. Under the Operating Fund program (CFDA 14.850), the authority uses federal subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management and administrative costs, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service.

Activity has remained stable across the past five years at approximately two awards per year. The authority holds no contracts or indefinite-delivery vehicles and does not operate as a subcontractor to other federal prime recipients. Combined dollars obligated across all thirty-eight awards in the source data total $547 thousand. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete in that window. Cumby Housing Authority operates as a 100% prime recipient with no sub-award or subcontracting activity; its federal footprint is limited to formula-grant administration under HUD's public housing statutes rather than competitive federal contracting or vendor service delivery.
