Housing Authority Of City Of Cooper

Housing Authority Of City Of Cooper is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Cooper, Texas, that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund operations and capital improvements for public housing serving low-income residents. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards); it does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

The authority's entire federal award footprint consists of Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grants from HUD. Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund grants enable modernization projects, infrastructure improvements, development activities, management enhancements, and emergency repairs as defined in 24 CFR Part 905, including construction, acquisition of housing units, and energy efficiency upgrades. Representative recent awards include a $122,238 Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $220,969 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030.

Customer concentration is absolute: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the authority's 40 awards in the source data, which spans from 2006 to April 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $7.1 million. Activity has remained stable at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Within the next twenty-four months, two awards (both operating fund and capital fund grants) reach ultimate completion and will enter the recompete cycle.

The authority must allocate all Capital and Operating Fund resources exclusively toward eligible activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work, and must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements. The Public Housing Capital Fund and Public Housing Operating Fund are national formula-allocation programs; the Capital Fund serves approximately 2,770 public housing agencies managing nearly one million units nationwide, while the Operating Fund serves approximately 6,000 housing authorities serving over 1.5 million residents in 902,436 households.
