Olney Housing Authority

Olney Housing Authority, a local government entity headquartered in Olney, Texas, receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient to support public housing operations and capital improvements. The Authority does not hold federal contracts and does not subcontract; all federal funding is direct, non-competitive formula allocation under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Olney Housing Authority operates exclusively within HUD's public housing subsidy framework. The Authority is a recipient under two principal federal grant programs. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Authority received $257,719 covering January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 to fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative implementation. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the Authority received $541,428 covering April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 to support capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of additional public housing units. Capital Fund grants are formula-based allocations calculated annually using characteristics such as unit count, building age, and construction costs rather than competitive application. The Authority implements all funded activities directly with no sub-recipients; eligible activities must be specified in an approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency work.

The Authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with 40 awards spanning from 2006 to present and $15.3 million in combined obligation across all awards. Recent activity shows steady two-award-per-year pattern through 2022–2026, with four awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (recompete exposure). The Authority serves as a direct prime recipient only; no contract prime awards, IDVs, or subcontracted work appear in the source. HUD's Public Housing Operating Fund program serves approximately 6,000 housing authorities managing over 902,000 households nationwide; the Public Housing Capital Fund serves approximately 2,770 agencies managing nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories.
