Housing Authority Of Chocta

Housing Authority Of Chocta, a tax-exempt municipal housing authority headquartered in Rattan, Oklahoma, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing stock serving low-income residents in its service area. The organization acts as a prime recipient — not a contractor — under two primary HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

The Housing Authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within HUD. All 41 awards in the source data come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no subcontract or sub-recipient relationships. Recent grant awards include a $247,317 formula grant under the Public Housing Capital Fund effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, funding capital and management activities including modernization of existing public housing units, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, and development initiatives. Concurrently, the Housing Authority holds a $161,167 formula award under the Public Housing Operating Fund effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, providing operating subsidies for day-to-day property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Earlier awards from 2022 through 2025 include additional cycles under both programs, with capital fund awards running four-year terms and operating fund awards running seven-year terms.

Activity is steady and recurring. The Housing Authority received two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated at $7.4 million across all 41 awards. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete risk for those grant cycles. The Housing Authority is not an IT vendor, contractor, or service provider to the federal government — it is a direct recipient of formula grant funding administered to public housing authorities nationwide under section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, serving approximately 902,436 public housing households across the $5 billion national operating fund program and approximately 2,770 public housing agencies across the capital fund program.
