Kirbyville Housing Authority

Kirbyville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Kirbyville, Texas, receives federal housing grant funding exclusively from the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime recipient operating public housing for lower-income families. The organization does not hold federal contracts or compete for procurement; it operates entirely within HUD's formula grant programs for public housing authorities.

Kirbyville Housing Authority is a 100% prime recipient across 40 federal awards spanning the past two decades, with no subcontract or sub-recipient roles. The authority serves a single customer agency — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — which administers formula grants under two core programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund awards support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation required under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Recent Operating Fund awards include $136,747 on January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032, and an earlier award on August 3, 2026, running through December 31, 2030. The Capital Fund awards support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and construction or acquisition of units that add to or significantly reconfigure the authority's inventory. Representative Capital Fund awards include $242,916 on April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, and awards on May 13, 2025, and May 6, 2024, with completion dates in 2029 and 2028 respectively. All awards are formula grants — funding is calculated through HUD submission forms rather than competitive application — and place of performance is Kirbyville, TX 75956.

Recent activity is flat: two awards per year in 2022–2025, with three awards in 2026. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all 40 awards since 2006 total $5.7 million, reflecting the small scale typical of a local housing authority managing a limited portfolio of units.
