Rapides Parish Of Housing Authority

Rapides Parish Of Housing Authority Housing Authority Of Rapides Parish Division is a not-for-profit public housing agency headquartered in Boyce, Louisiana, that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and modernization for low-income residents across Rapides Parish, Louisiana.

The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The organization receives recurring annual allocations under two primary HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which supports day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, and management improvements. Recent grants include a $546,020 Public Housing Operating Fund award for the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $538,046 Public Housing Capital Fund award for the period April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. The Capital Fund supports development activities and related costs that add to or significantly reconfigure the agency's public housing inventory, including construction and acquisition of additional units, alongside modernization of information technology platforms that provide real-time data on portfolio metrics, funding levels, occupancy rates, and families served.

Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of the vendor's 37 awards since 2006 derive from the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office, with no sub-recipient or subcontracting activity. Activity has remained flat and regular over the past five years — two awards per year in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 — totaling $16.9 million in combined dollars obligated. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunities for other housing authorities and service providers competing for capital and operating fund allocations under HUD's formula grant structure. The vendor does not hold federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; all activity channels through direct HUD formula grants to public housing agencies nationwide under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
