Housing Authority Of Cross Plains

Housing Authority Of Cross Plains, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Cross Plains, Texas, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operating expenses, capital improvements, and emergency disaster recovery.

Housing Authority Of Cross Plains is a local government-owned housing authority with no federal contract prime awards or subcontract positions; its entire federal footprint consists of formula grants from HUD. The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient — 41 awards across the portfolio, all prime grants with zero sub-award activity. All awards flow from a single customer agency: the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office.

The grant portfolio centers on three recurring federal programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day expenses including management, maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and insurance. Awards include grants dated January 1, 2026 (ultimate completion December 31, 2032) and January 1, 2025 (ultimate completion December 31, 2031). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA not specified in source) funds modernization, development, and management improvements through approved 5-year action plans or HUD-approved emergency and disaster work. Capital Fund grants in the portfolio include awards dated May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029), May 6, 2024 (ultimate completion May 5, 2028), February 17, 2023 (ultimate completion February 16, 2027), and May 12, 2022 (ultimate completion May 11, 2026). HUD also awards emergency and non-presidentially declared natural disaster grants on a first-come, first-served basis for capital needs arising from emergencies and non-presidentially declared disasters in the same federal fiscal year; Housing Authority Of Cross Plains received such an award dated May 29, 2026 (ultimate completion May 28, 2028).

Activity has remained modest and flat — three awards in 2022, declining to two per year in 2023–2025, then rising to three in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across the full 41-award portfolio total $2.4 million. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete action. The vendor does not compete for federal contracts and holds no place on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs; its federal engagement is limited entirely to recurring formula grants that flow to public housing authorities under the Housing Act of 1937.
