Housing Authority Of The City Of Balmorhea

Housing Authority Of The City Of Balmorhea is a U.S. local government entity (public housing authority) headquartered in Balmorhea, Texas, 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 development activities. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles and has no subcontracting footprint.

Balmorhea Housing Authority's entire federal funding stream — 39 awards totaling $1.8 million obligated across the past two decades — flows from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two recurring formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (authorized under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937) funds day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative overhead for the authority's public housing stock. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872, authorized by the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998) supports housing modernization, development, acquisition of additional units, and management improvements according to approved five-year action plans or HUD-approved emergency work.

Activity is flat and regular: two awards annually from 2022 through 2026, with grant awards issued in multiple cycles throughout each calendar year. Recent grants include a Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, running through May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant from May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing routine recompete exposure under HUD's annual allocation cycle. The authority holds no competitive federal contract vehicles, participates in no multiple-award IDIQs or GWACs, and generates no prime or subcontracting revenue — its federal engagement is limited to formula grant administration and capital project execution within its public housing portfolio in Balmorhea, Texas.
