Gladewater Housing Authority

Gladewater Housing Authority, doing business as Julia Wood Homes, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that provides affordable housing services to low-income residents in Gladewater, Texas. As a recipient of federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the organization focuses on developing, modernizing, and managing public housing units to ensure they meet federal housing standards and provide safe, decent, and affordable living options for the community. Gladewater Housing Authority has been registered to receive federal awards since June 28, 2005, and maintains an active registration in SAM.gov, with its current registration set to expire on November 27, 2024.

Through its federal grant awards, Gladewater Housing Authority primarily engages in two main programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Under the Capital Fund Program, the authority receives formula grants to carry out capital and management activities, including major renovations, new construction, demolition, energy efficiency upgrades, and management improvements. These funds support the modernization and development of public housing units, ensuring they meet federal standards. The Operating Fund grants enable the authority to cover day-to-day operations, maintenance, and management of the Julia Wood Homes public housing development. This includes activities such as property management, routine and preventive maintenance, security measures, resident services, and energy conservation efforts. As the sole recipient of these grants, Gladewater Housing Authority directly implements these programs without engaging in subawards, focusing on providing affordable housing options and related services to benefit the local low-income population in the Gladewater area.
