Oil City Housing Authority

Oil City Housing Authority, a non-profit public housing agency based in Oil City, Louisiana, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and modernize public housing units serving low-income residents in the Oil City area. The organization acts exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contracting prime or sub work in the source record.

Oil City Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of formula grants from a single customer — the Department of Housing and Urban Development — across two primary federal grant programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital and management funding for physical modernization, development, acquisition, emergency repairs, and infrastructure improvements to ensure housing units meet decent, safe, and sanitary standards. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation.

Recent representative awards include a $215,128 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion March 31, 2030; a $110,640 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a prior-year Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024, with completion May 5, 2028. The source shows ten distinct grant awards spanning 2022 through 2026, with the organization receiving two awards per calendar year in recent cycles. The combined potential value across all 41 awards in the source record is $6.1 million obligated, reflecting the modest scale of Oil City's public housing inventory relative to the nationwide program serving approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies managing nearly one million public housing units across all 50 states and territories. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering annual recompete cycles characteristic of formula-grant administration under HUD's Public Housing programs.
