Housing Authority

Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Falls City, Texas, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital improvements and operating fund support. As a local public housing authority, Housing Authority does not bid on federal contracts or compete for procurement — it receives direct pass-through grant funding under the Public Housing Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.873), the two primary mechanisms through which HUD distributes capital and operating resources to roughly 6,000 public housing agencies nationwide.

Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grant awards from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contracting relationship and no subcontract activity. The recipient holds twelve grants covering public housing development, modernization, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant with an ultimate completion date of May 12, 2029 (awarded May 13, 2025), a Public Housing Operating Fund award running through December 31, 2032 (awarded January 1, 2026), and an earlier Capital Fund grant completing May 5, 2028 (awarded May 6, 2024). Capital Fund grants support activities enumerated under 24 CFR 905.200, including development activities that add to or significantly reconfigure public housing units, and modernization of information technology platforms that provide real-time portfolio data on funding levels, occupancy rates, and household metrics. The Operating Fund (a $5 billion program serving 1.59 million public housing residents across 902,436 households, 44% elderly and 35% with children) covers day-to-day operational expenses, management overhead, debt service, and web-based platform modernization.

Activity has remained steady but modest — two awards in each of 2024, 2025, and 2026 — with combined dollars obligated across all thirty-nine awards totaling $582 thousand. Two grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating routine renewal cycles characteristic of HUD's annual and multi-year operating and capital fund allocation schedules. Housing Authority's grants are not vehicles for federal contractor teaming or sub-award placement; they represent direct federal pass-through funding to a local government entity for public housing administration and infrastructure.
