City Of Mason Housing Authority

City Of Mason Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Mason, Texas, 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 serving low-income residents in Mason.

The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not separately itemized in source; operates under section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency enhancements, and infrastructure maintenance under the authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or for HUD-approved emergency work necessitated by natural disasters. All work is performed in Mason, Texas, subject to compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

The authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grant awards — 36 awards spanning the past several years, all from the Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contract prime or subcontractor activity. Recent representative awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant of $134,443 effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029. Capital Fund grants are allocated by HUD formula based on the authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than through competitive application. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.2 million. Two awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. The authority has no sub-award activity and operates as a direct recipient of federal housing assistance, not as a contractor or procurement partner to federal agencies.
