About the company
Merkel Housing Authority, a tax-exempt corporate entity based in Merkel, Texas, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to administer public housing capital and operating programs within its jurisdiction. The authority operates as a prime recipient of federal grants only — it does not hold federal contracts, subcontracts, or seats on contract vehicles — and receives all 39 of its recent awards from a single grantor agency.
Merkel Housing Authority's federal funding footprint centers on two recurring HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source) provides operating subsidies to help the authority fund day-to-day operational expenses, administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services for its public housing inventory. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA not specified in source) funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and other eligible capital activities under 24 CFR Part 905. Recent awards include a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion March 12, 2029; an Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund grant awarded May 6, 2024 with ultimate completion May 5, 2028. The authority has received two awards per calendar year over the past five years — a flat, consistent cadence — with two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.
The authority's combined dollars obligated across all recent awards total $2.4 million, reflecting the modest scale of a single-city public housing agency. All thirty-nine awards documented in the source are formula grants administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office; the authority has no contract prime awards, no subcontract relationships, and no presence on government-wide or agency IDIQs. This profile is typical for public housing agencies, which operate as direct federal grant recipients for capital and operating programs rather than federal contractors.
