Housing Authority Of South Landry

Housing Authority of South Landry is a U.S. government entity and public housing authority that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund operational expenses, capital improvements, and emergency safety and security activities for its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Grand Coteau, Louisiana. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts, subcontract on federal awards, or serve as a vendor to other federal agencies.

The Housing Authority of South Landry's entire federal footprint consists of formula grants from HUD under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Recent grants include a $282,201 operating subsidy effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation expenses. The authority also received a $396,965 capital grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and related development activities that expand or reconfigure housing units. Prior capital and operating awards dating to at least 2022 have provided baseline funding for the authority's ongoing portfolio management. Additionally, the authority received emergency safety and security grant funding awarded June 20, 2024, with completion set for June 19, 2026, to address capital needs for safety and security emergencies including crime and drug-related activity. All grants are formula-based allocations reflecting the authority's share of annual appropriations calculated according to established formulas based on inventory characteristics including unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

The Housing Authority of South Landry's customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for all 41 awards in the source record, with a combined obligation of $13.6 million spanning a twenty-year period. Activity has remained steady at two to three awards per calendar year from 2022 through 2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting routine recompete opportunities tied to the annual grant cycles under which HUD distributes capital and operating funds to approximately 2,770 public housing authorities nationwide. The authority administers these grants directly without subcontractor arrangements and maintains responsibility for compliance with 24 CFR Part 905 and for accurate maintenance of its public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
