Housing Authority Of The City Of Oakdale, Louisiana

Housing Authority of the City of Oakdale, Louisiana, doing business as Oakdale Housing Authority, is a U.S. government entity that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units serving low-income residents in Oakdale, Louisiana. The authority acts as a prime grant recipient (93% of all awards) and does not hold federal prime contracts.

Oakdale Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on two recurring HUD grant programs under formulas rather than competitive application. The authority is the recipient of Public Housing Operating Fund grants (CFDA 14.850), which provide operating subsidies for day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs. Current recipients are serving through December 31, 2032 (award dated January 1, 2026, $235,120) and through December 31, 2031 (award dated January 1, 2025). The authority also receives Public Housing Capital Fund grants (CFDA 14.872), which support capital and management activities including public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities that expand or reconfigure inventory, and emergency repairs. Recent capital fund awards include a $464,015 grant dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), an award dated May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and an award dated May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028). All grants flow from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 41 of 44 total awards.

Customer concentration is minimal in operational terms — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office represents 98% of the authority's recent award count — but the portfolio is structurally stable. Formula grants do not recompete; they renew at set intervals based on inventory characteristics. The authority has received two sub-grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards: one award dated February 9, 2026 for Category Z management cost ($800551) and one dated February 4, 2025 for management cost ($800551), both from a prime grantee identified as Homeland Security & Emergency; the authority also received an FEMA sub-grant dated January 27, 2026 for building damages recovery ($239689). Award velocity is stable at two to four awards per year; only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, reflecting the long-duration nature of formula grant cycles. Combined dollars obligated across all forty-four awards total $14.5 million.
