Loraine Housing Authority

Loraine Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Loraine, Texas, is a federal grant recipient administering public housing modernization, capital development, and operating-fund assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient of federal formula grants — 100% of its award footprint — with no federal contracting activity or subcontractor role.

Loraine Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of two recurring HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund). Under the Capital Fund program, the authority receives formula grants to fund public housing development, modernization, management improvements, and eligible capital activities per 24 CFR Part 905, with recent awards issued May 2024, May 2025, and April 2026. The 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, and debt-service costs, with awards issued January 2022, January 2023, January 2024, January 2025, and January 2026. The authority's federal grant portfolio totals 40 awards across a twenty-year award history, with $1.4 million combined dollars obligated and concentration exclusively with a single customer — the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, which funds 100% of grants. Activity is consistent at two awards per year for the past five calendar years. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete window. The authority's federal role is administrative and developmental — receiving and deploying federal housing assistance funds rather than performing contract services or serving as a subcontractor to federal primes.
