Town Of Duson Housing Authority

Town Of Duson Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity headquartered in Rayne, Louisiana, is a public housing authority that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing capital and operating programs serving low-income residents.

The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a federal contractor — drawing all of its federal funding from HUD's formula grant programs under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The authority administers two primary federal grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP), which provides grants for public housing modernization, development, and management improvements (CFDA pending program designation), and the Public Housing Operating Fund, which subsidizes day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses for public housing dwellings. Recent awards show multiple active grants in both categories spanning four to seven years. The authority received a Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032, and a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030. Earlier awards in the same programs carry completion dates from 2026 through 2029, covering routine modernization, facility maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and information technology platform modernization for real-time portfolio insight.

The authority's customer base is singular — 100% of its 41 awards (obligated value $3 million across the portfolio) flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates as a prime recipient on all grants with no subcontract or sub-recipient relationships. Activity has been modest and stable, with two awards per year in 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026; three in 2023. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will likely enter recompete cycles. The authority's work is statutory and recurring — as a public housing agency, it qualifies for HUD's formula grants under Section 9 of the Housing Act and receives allocations annually based on agency size and portfolio metrics, making this relationship operational rather than procurement-oriented.
