Housing Authority City Of Harlingen

Housing Authority City Of Harlingen receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents in Harlingen, Texas, operating exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no federal contracting footprint. The Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity established under Texas state law and classified as a Public Housing Agency; it does not hold federal contracts, IDVs, or seats on GSA vehicles and does not subcontract on federal awards.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including modernization of existing units, acquisition and construction of additional public housing units, facility repairs and maintenance, and financing activities for mixed-finance developments. Recent awards include a $1.72 million Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and three Public Housing Operating Fund grants awarded January 1, 2026: $358,721, $377,938, and $508,303, each running through December 31, 2032. An earlier Public Housing Capital Fund award of unspecified amount was issued May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion May 5, 2028.
