Deridder Housing Authority

Deridder Housing Authority, a municipal government entity and public housing authority headquartered in DeRidder, Louisiana, is a federal grant recipient that receives operating and capital funding directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under formula grant programs (CFDA 14.850 and CFDA 14.872) to operate and modernize public housing stock serving lower-income residents in DeRidder.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing formula grants, with no federal contract prime awards or subcontracting presence. Deridder Housing Authority operates as a direct recipient of two recurring grant streams: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides day-to-day operational and maintenance subsidies for public housing properties, and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional housing units, and management improvements. Recent awards include $188,345 in operating fund grant support effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and $373,759 in capital fund support effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. Earlier-year capital fund awards (May 2024 through May 2028, May 2025 through May 2029) and operating fund awards (January 2024 through December 2030, January 2025 through December 2031) are also active. All activity across the portfolio comes from a single customer agency, the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of the authority's 36 total federal awards.

Activity is consistent at roughly two awards per year across the 2022–2026 period, with a combined dollars obligated total of $10.5 million across the full award history. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating administrative recompete cycles tied to HUD's annual formula-grant recalculation process. As a municipal government entity and public housing authority, Deridder Housing Authority does not compete for federal work — it receives allocations as a member of the nationwide pool of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies serving nearly one million public housing units under the 1937 Housing Act framework.
