Housing Authority Of City Of Waxahac

Housing Authority of the City of Waxahachie, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Waxahachie, Texas, is a public housing authority that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing operations and capital improvements for low-income residents in the Waxahachie area. The entity does not hold federal contracts; all of its federal activity consists of formula-grant awards under HUD's Public Housing programs.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute — all 42 federal awards in the source data come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which administers two primary grant programs to the Authority. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital grants for modernization, development, equipment replacement, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, and facility repairs to the Authority's public housing inventory. Recent awards include a $255,865 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant obligated April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $173,087 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant obligated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a capital fund award obligated May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. The Authority also received an emergency Safety and Security grant from HUD's capital fund set-aside on August 29, 2024 for one-time capital needs addressing crime and drug-related activity, with a maximum award cap of $250,000.

Grant activity has remained modest and steady — two awards annually across 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and two in the first quarter of 2026 — with $10.4 million obligated across all forty-two awards since 2006. Three awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete or renewal in that window. The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a direct federal grant recipient with no federal contract prime work and no subcontracting activity; its federal footprint is entirely driven by HUD's annual formula-based allocation system, which distributes federal housing operating and capital funds to approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationwide serving over 1.5 million public housing residents.
