Housing Authority Of Texas

Housing Authority Of Texas is a municipal housing authority based in Texas City, Texas, that receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving lower-income residents in its jurisdiction. As a government entity and local housing authority, Housing Authority Of Texas does not operate as a federal contractor; it acts exclusively as a federal grant recipient under two primary HUD programs administered directly without subawarding to partners.

Housing Authority Of Texas is a U.S. local government entity classified as a housing authority public agency. Its federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.850 for operating funds and CFDA 14.872 for capital improvements). The authority operates two active grant streams: the Public Housing Operating Fund, which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; and the Public Housing Capital Fund, which supports physical infrastructure improvements, modernization, development, emergency repairs, and related financing costs aligned to the authority's 5-year action plan. Recent awards include a $104,506 Public Housing Operating Fund allocation effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $137,501 Public Housing Capital Fund allocation effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. Both awards are formula-based allocations reflecting the authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than competitive selections.

Housing Authority Of Texas's customer concentration is entirely within HUD — all 45 recent awards derive from the Public and Indian Housing Office, representing the sole federal funding relationship. The authority has received consistent annual awards spanning twenty years, with two formula allocations per year (one operating fund, one capital fund cycle) since 2022. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $9 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure as the authority cycles through HUD's formula grant processing. The authority operates its grants directly and must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, including accurate inventory documentation in HUD's Information Management System.

Housing Authority Of Texas's work scope centers on managing approximately 100–150 public housing units in Texas City serving elderly residents, families with children, and other vulnerable populations. The authority is not a vendor to federal contractors and does not appear in competitive procurement channels or on government-wide acquisition vehicles; it is a direct recipient of federal housing assistance under the Section 9 framework of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
