Housing Authority Of Ennis

Housing Authority Of Ennis, a local government housing authority headquartered in Ennis, Texas, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in its service area. The agency operates solely as a grant recipient — not as a contractor or subcontractor — and draws 100% of its federal funding from HUD's formula-based grant programs rather than competitive procurement.

The Housing Authority of Ennis receives ongoing formula allocations under two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service across the authority's public housing portfolio. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure upgrades, and energy efficiency work. Recent awards include a $210,294 Public Housing Operating Fund grant running through December 31, 2032, and a $229,985 Public Housing Capital Fund grant running through March 31, 2030, both effective in 2026. An earlier $229,985 Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of May 12, 2029. These are formula allocations calculated using established metrics reflecting the authority's unit count, building age, and construction costs, not competitive applications; the authority receives annual funding allocations without competing against other housing authorities.

The Housing Authority of Ennis has received 41 total federal awards since 2006, with a combined obligated value of $10.2 million. Awards frequency remains stable at two awards per calendar year across the 2022–2026 window. The agency's sole customer is HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of its federal awards. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal activity in that window. The authority's grant work directly funds housing operations and capital activities benefiting lower-income residents, including elderly residents, families with children, and persons with disabilities in its Ennis, Texas service area.
