Housing Authority Of Lafourche Inc.

Housing Authority Of Lafourche Inc., doing business as Lafourche Parish Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority operating as a federal grant recipient, not a contractor, with 92% of recent awards held as prime recipient status under HUD programs. The entity is headquartered in Raceland, Louisiana, and receives formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and emergency safety and security measures across Lafourche Parish.

Lafourche Parish Housing Authority's federal footprint consists almost entirely of HUD funding. The top customer by award count and dollar volume is the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 44 of 48 total awards (100% coverage across both rankings). The recipient also holds four sub-awards under Homeland Security & Emergency Management administration, related to disaster recovery and emergency preparedness activities, awarded in 2023 and 2024. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $34.8 million. The recipient has served only two distinct federal customer agencies.

The prime grant work centers on three recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation; the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which finances public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements; and a HUD emergency safety and security set-aside program reserved for public housing agencies to address one-time capital needs related to crime and drug-related activity. Recent named awards include a $620,822 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, with performance through December 31, 2032; an $875,058 Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion by March 31, 2030; and an emergency safety and security grant awarded August 3, 2026, completing August 2, 2028. The sub-award activity under FEMA consists of emergency management and recovery assistance for specific housing developments and neighborhoods within the parish, including projects identified as triple oaks, city place, and larose galliano cut off.

Activity has remained flat to modest, ranging from two to four awards annually over the past five years, with three awards in 2026 year to date. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on that schedule. All work is performed in Raceland, Louisiana, serving low-income residents including elderly residents and families with children across the Lafourche Parish public housing inventory.
