Housing Authority Of The Parish Of Natchitoches

Housing Authority of the Parish of Natchitoches is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Natchitoches, Louisiana, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents in Natchitoches Parish. The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of awards), not as a federal contractor or subcontractor, and receives all funding through HUD's formula grant programs.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Capital Fund grants finance public housing modernization, development, rehabilitation of existing units, management improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades. Recent awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant for $230,973 (period of performance through December 31, 2032), a Public Housing Capital Fund award of $307,734 (through March 31, 2030), and a Public Housing Operating Fund award dated August 3, 2026 (period through December 31, 2030). The authority's combined obligated dollars across all federal sources total $9 million, reflecting its scale as a small parish-level housing authority.

Customer concentration is absolute: HUD Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for all 43 awards in the source data, with no diversification to other federal agencies. Activity has remained modest at two to four awards annually over the past five years, with the most recent grant award issued in August 2026. Two awards hold ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete activity. The authority serves approximately 44% elderly residents and 35% families with children within its public housing inventory.
