Housing Authority Of The City Of Temple

Housing Authority of the City of Temple, a local government entity based in Temple, Texas, is a formula grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving federal funding for public housing capital improvements and day-to-day operational expenses rather than operating as a federal contractor.

The Housing Authority operates entirely as a grant recipient in the federal space, with no contracting footprint. Its federal grant activity centers on two HUD programs administered under CFDA 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund) and CFDA 14.850 (Public Housing Operating Fund). The Capital Fund provides formula-based grants to support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to the authority's public housing inventory serving low-income residents. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative implementation expenses necessary to maintain adequate service delivery and operating reserves. Recent grants include a $860,571 Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; a $275,736 Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a $224,159 Capital Fund allocation dated September 26, 2025, through September 25, 2027. The authority's grant portfolio also includes sub-award activity through the Texas Division of Emergency Management, including emergency disaster recovery funding for buildings damaged by hail and straight-line winds.

The Housing Authority's customer base is concentrated almost exclusively with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 82 of 87 total awards in the source footprint. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 and the Federal Emergency Management Agency each account for smaller allocations. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority's award footprint reflects typical public housing agency grant characteristics: formula-based allocations without competitive procurement, long performance periods spanning four to eight years, and obligations substantially exceeding listed potential values due to the formula-driven nature of HUD's annual appropriations process.
