Housing Authority Of The Town Of Gibsland

Housing Authority Of The Town Of Gibsland is a U.S. public housing authority and a child entity of the Housing Authority Of New Orleans that receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing. The authority does not compete for federal contracts and does not serve as a subrecipient; all 39 awards in its recent footprint are formula grants received as prime recipient.

Housing Authority Of The Town Of Gibsland is structured as a Louisiana local government entity headquartered in Gibsland, Louisiana. The authority operates entirely under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with 100% of awards (39 total across the past several years) concentrated in two HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund and the Public Housing Capital Fund. Operating Fund grants fund day-to-day operational expenses, management, routine and preventive maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for public housing units. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and other eligible capital activities under 24 CFR Part 905, including construction and acquisition of additional units. Recent representative awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion March 2029, a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 with ultimate completion December 2032, and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024 with ultimate completion May 2028. All grants are formula awards flowing through HUD's standard public housing funding mechanisms to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide.

Customer concentration is absolute: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole funding federal agency across all 39 awards. The authority's award activity has remained flat at two grants per year over the past five years, with most recent activity in April 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, three awards face ultimate completion dates and therefore will require recompete or renewal action. The authority's combined dollars obligated across all 39 grants total $1.8 million, reflecting the formula-grant structure where awards vary by local housing inventory size and operational need rather than competitive bidding.
