Housing Authority Of City Of Paris

Housing Authority Of The City Of Paris, Texas (doing business as Housing Authority Of Paris-George W Wrig) is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize its public housing inventory serving approximately 1,500 low-income residents in Paris, Texas.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, not as a contract prime or subcontractor. All 37 awards in its federal footprint are formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across two core programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund grants, awarded annually through December 2032, provide subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital Fund grants, awarded on a multi-year cycle through 2030, support capital improvements including modernization, infrastructure repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional public housing units, and mixed-finance project financing. The Housing Authority has also received emergency safety and security grant funding, with the most recent award issued in June 2024 for capital needs related to crime and drug-related activity mitigation.

The Housing Authority's recent federal grant portfolio is anchored by two active awards: a $615,082 Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 2026 through December 2032, and a $632,927 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 2026 through March 2030. Combined potential value across all 37 awards in the federal footprint totals $24.2 million. Customer concentration is absolute — 100% of awards fund HUD Public and Indian Housing Office programs. Activity has averaged roughly two to three grants per year over the past five years, with two awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. All grants are subject to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and compliance with HUD's Information Management System for inventory tracking and financial reporting.
