Palacios Housing Authority

Palacios Housing Authority, doing business as Seacrest Estates, is a local government housing authority and federal grant recipient that receives formula-based operating and capital funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to maintain and modernize its public housing portfolio in Palacios, Texas. The entity operates exclusively as a prime recipient of HUD grant awards and holds no federal contracts or contract vehicles.

Palacios Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.866) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards support day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund awards support modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades at the Seacrest Estates properties. Recent awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund award of $126,769 dated April 1, 2026, for capital improvements through March 31, 2030; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded August 3, 2026, running through December 31, 2030. All activities are performed in Palacios, Texas, with compliance obligations under 24 CFR Part 905 and 2 CFR 200 audit and financial reporting requirements.

The vendor's customer concentration is absolute: 100% of awards come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office across 39 total awards since 2006, with $3.5 million in combined obligations. Activity has remained modest and stable, averaging two to four awards per year since 2022. Five awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating recompete or renewal windows. The source does not identify parent contract vehicles, subcontractor relationships, or set-aside designations; Palacios Housing Authority is a public entity operating under federal statute rather than a for-profit vendor competing for federal work.
