Lubbock Housing Authority

Lubbock Housing Authority, a local government housing authority headquartered in Lubbock, Texas, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents. The entity operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) under three HUD formula and project grant programs, with no federal contract or subcontract work.

Lubbock Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on three recurring HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. Operating Fund awards, issued annually on January 1, support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation costs. Recent Operating Fund grants include $337,725 (awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032), $129,748 (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032), and $233,006 (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund, awarded semi-annually or annually, funds modernization, development, management improvements, and capital activities aligned with 24 CFR Part 905 and either specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster work. The authority received $867,651 under the Capital Fund on April 1, 2026 (running through March 31, 2030) and $1,194,000 under the same program on May 13, 2025 (running through May 12, 2029). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program provides funding for FSS coordinator salaries and fringe benefits; awards include $137,000 (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026) and $123,000 (January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025).

Award volume has remained stable at six awards per year over the past five years, with 123 total awards documented since 2006 and combined dollars obligated of $40.4 million. Customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for all 123 awards. Six awards are reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential renewal or recompete activity in that window. Performance is executed in Lubbock, Texas at the authority's facilities at 1708 Crickets Ave. Lubbock Housing Authority is not a vendor in the traditional contractor sense; it is a federal grant recipient operating a public housing portfolio on behalf of low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities under HUD's statutory housing programs.
