Omaha Housing Authority

Omaha Housing Authority is a U.S. local government housing authority that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as the prime recipient (100% of awards) under two core federal grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.870) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The authority operates public housing inventory serving low-income residents in Omaha, Texas, and does not compete for federal contracts or hold positions on federal contract vehicles.

The authority's federal grant footprint is entirely concentrated within HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with 41 awards across the past twenty years. The Public Housing Operating Fund provides ongoing subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Public Housing Capital Fund supports capital and modernization activities including public housing development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency enhancements, and financing activities. The two grant programs operate on overlapping multi-year cycles: an Operating Fund award issued January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, funds operational and administrative expenses, while a Capital Fund award issued April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, carries $137,778 in support for capital improvements and management activities under 24 CFR Part 905. Previous Capital Fund awards dating to 2022 are staged across completion dates from May 2026 through May 2029, with two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.

Activity is stable at roughly two awards per year across 2022–2026, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $4 million. As a public housing authority, Omaha Housing Authority is a direct recipient of HUD formula-grant funding rather than a vendor serving federal agencies through contracting; the authority's federal relationship is one of grant administration and compliance with the Housing Act of 1937 and applicable federal regulations, not a prime contractor or subcontractor position. Award history spans from 2006 to present, indicating long-standing participation in the Public Housing program.
