Housing Authority Of City Of Houma

Housing Authority Of The City Of Houma is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Houma, Louisiana, that receives formula grant awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and emergency management activities serving low-income residents in Terrebonne Parish.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (93% of recent awards as a prime recipient, 7% as a sub-recipient under Homeland Security & Emergency Management). All prime award funding flows from two customer agencies: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (76 awards) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Financial Assistance Awards program (6 awards). The organization does not hold federal contracts or competitive procurements; it draws formula-based allocations under HUD's primary housing programs.

The Housing Authority's primary revenue streams are the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), both administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent operating-fund grants include $798,166 obligated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and $299,577 obligated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Housing Authority also received a $1,665,578 capital-fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, designated for modernization, development, construction, and rehabilitation of public housing units, with activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. Sub-award activity under FEMA includes six disaster-recovery grants passed through Homeland Security & Emergency Management, covering management costs and equipment projects related to temporary facilities and COVID-19 recovery efforts (awards dated between December 2023 and February 2026).

Combined dollars obligated across all 82 awards total $55.6 million, with activity showing steady growth from four awards in 2022 to eight in 2026 year-to-date. Ten awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face renewal or reallocation cycles. The organization serves elderly residents, families with children, and persons with disabilities across its public housing portfolio, with compliance requirements under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD-mandated inventory and cost-record maintenance subject to independent audit.
