Mount Vernon Housing Authority

Mount Vernon Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Mount Vernon, Texas, is a recipient of federal housing grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) under two formula-grant programs with no federal contracts or subcontracting role.

Mount Vernon Housing Authority receives funding under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), both administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure projects specified in approved 5-Year Action Plans or emergency-approved work, including construction, acquisition, and renovation of public housing units serving low-income residents. 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 administrative program implementation. The authority has received ten formula grants since 2022, including a $165,716 Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a $165,716 Capital Fund grant from May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $4.5 million.

Customer concentration is absolute: all forty awards in the portfolio come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which operates as the sole funding agency. The Public Housing Capital Fund and Operating Fund are non-competitive, formula-based allocation programs that distribute funds annually to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million units. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards are scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete or renewal cycles under HUD's standard grant administration timelines. Grant work is performed in Mount Vernon, Texas, with oversight and compliance reporting to HUD in accordance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and maintenance of accurate public housing inventory data in HUD's Information Management System.
