Housing Authority Of The City Of Abbeville

Housing Authority Of The City Of Abbeville, a U.S. local government entity, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents in Abbeville, Louisiana. The authority does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD programs.

The authority's entire federal footprint consists of formula grants distributed by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across two primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides day-to-day operational and maintenance funding, with recent awards including a $285,614 grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 that supports property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances capital improvements, modernization, and development activities; Abbeville Housing Authority received a $461,839 capital grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 supporting construction, acquisition, modernization of existing units, management improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. Capital Fund resources deploy against the authority's approved 5-year action plan or for emergency work and repairs necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. Both programs operate as formula grants — distributed based on standardized HUD calculation methodologies tied to the authority's public housing inventory characteristics including unit counts, building age, and construction costs — rather than through competitive application processes.

Abbeville Housing Authority's award portfolio spans 43 grants since 2006, all issued by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined obligated dollars totaling $15.4 million. The authority has received two grants per year consistently across 2024, 2025, and 2026, alternating between Operating Fund and Capital Fund allocations. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal cycles. The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient with no subcontractor or sub-recipient role and no federal contract vehicle participation. All federal engagement is single-customer, single-agency concentration — 100% of awards fund HUD public housing programs — making the authority a direct implementer of federal housing policy for Abbeville's low-income population rather than a vendor to broader federal procurement networks.
