Fort Cobb Housing Authority

Fort Cobb Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Fort Cobb, Oklahoma, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering public housing capital and operating programs for its local jurisdiction.

Fort Cobb Housing Authority holds no federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD's public housing formula-grant programs. The organization's entire federal footprint — all thirty-five awards across the past twenty years — derives from two recurring HUD grant vehicles: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund). The Capital Fund provides financial assistance for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and eligible capital activities as described in 24 CFR Part 905; the Operating Fund provides subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent grant awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion March 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030. The combined dollars obligated across all thirty-five awards in the source data total $1.5 million, reflecting the formula-grant structure of HUD's public housing assistance — allocations are determined by federal statutory formula tied to housing inventory and operating needs rather than competitive procurement.

Activity is steady at approximately two awards per year over the past five years. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete or renewal opportunity. Fort Cobb Housing Authority operates as a sole-source HUD customer; no other federal agencies appear in the award portfolio. As a public housing authority, the organization is not eligible for SBA set-aside designations and does not compete against private contractors; it is a beneficiary entity under the public housing subsidy system rather than a vendor competing for work.
