Kinder Housing Authority

Kinder Housing Authority is a U.S. government entity—specifically a state housing authority operating in Kinder, Louisiana—that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital improvements. The Authority does not serve as a federal contractor, subcontractor, or sub-recipient; it acts exclusively as a prime recipient of HUD grants, with no involvement in federal procurement vehicles, competitive set-asides, or vendor relationships.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula-grant awards under two HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.869) provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation costs associated with the Authority's public housing portfolio. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, development activities, and management enhancements. Recent awards include a $267,766 Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, and multiple Public Housing Operating Fund grants spanning 2022 through 2032. All grants specify formula-based allocation and direct administration by the Authority without subcontractor engagement.

The Authority's federal grant activity shows consistent annual volume of five to seven awards per year across the past five years, with 66 total awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to April 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $5 million, reflecting the operating and capital subsidy structure of the program rather than procurement contracting. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards flow from a single federal agency—the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office—making competitive procurement pipeline, teaming opportunities, and vehicle positioning immaterial to intelligence on this entity.
