Brownwood Housing Authority

Brownwood Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing units serving low-income residents in Brownwood, Texas. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor; it does not bid on federal contracts or hold seats on contract vehicles.

Brownwood Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public Housing programs administered through the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority receives recurring formula-based allocations under two primary CFDA programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime initiatives, energy costs, resident support services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund awards enable modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and financing activities necessary to maintain adequate housing conditions. Recent grant activity includes a $631,438 Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a $247,096 Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032. The Authority also holds an Operating Fund allocation running through December 31, 2032, and a Capital Fund award through March 31, 2030.

The Authority's federal funding is entirely concentrated with a single grantor agency—the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office—which accounts for 100% of its 42 awards in the source data. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $17.8 million. Award volume has remained modest and relatively flat, ranging from two awards per year in 2022, 2023, and 2025 to four awards in 2024. Only two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The Authority does not subcontract or partner with federal contractors; all work is performed directly under HUD's grant authority.
