Houston Housing Authority

Houston Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Houston, Missouri, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively under HUD's Public Housing program (CFDA 14.872 and related operating fund allocations). The Authority receives formula-based grant funding from the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office to support capital improvements, modernization, development, and day-to-day operational expenses for its public housing inventory.

The Authority's entire federal footprint consists of 40 formula grants awarded since 2006, all from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent awards include a $154,207 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including physical infrastructure modernization, energy efficiency improvements, non-routine maintenance, code compliance projects, and related financing; a Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, funding day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative costs; and prior-year Capital Fund allocations awarded May 2025, May 2024, and February 2023, each running four-year performance periods. Formula allocations are calculated by HUD using established formulas reflecting unit counts, building age, and construction costs; eligible uses are defined in 24 CFR 905.200 and authorized through an approved Five-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work requests. Combined dollars obligated across all forty awards total $5.3 million.

Activity has remained consistent at two awards annually from 2022 through 2026. Two awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months face grant recompetition or renewal cycles. The Authority operates as a 100% prime recipient with no subcontract engagement across its federal footprint, serves a single federal customer agency, and reports to no parent contract vehicles — its grant relationships are direct allocations from HUD reflecting its statutory role as a public housing provider under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The Authority's federal relationship is programmatic and formula-driven rather than competitive; it does not compete for or hold federal prime contracts or stand on government-wide acquisition vehicles.
