Port Lavaca Housing Authority Development Corporation

Port Lavaca Housing Authority Development Corporation, doing business as Port Lavaca Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Port Lavaca, Texas, that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, development, and operating expenses for low-income residents in its jurisdiction.

Port Lavaca Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient under HUD's Public Housing programs. The organization has received 41 formula grants since 2006, with $5.4 million in combined dollars obligated across all awards, and serves a single federal customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. All awards are prime recipient grants; the authority does not subcontract grant work. Recent grant activity includes a $224,426 Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting capital and management activities including public housing modernization, construction and acquisition of additional housing units, physical improvements to existing stock, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades, in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905. The authority also receives ongoing operating subsidies under the Public Housing Operating Fund to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service.

Activity is consistent but modest in volume: the authority received two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with grant periods typically spanning four to seven years. Two awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization's grant portfolio is formulaic in nature — allocation-driven rather than competitive — reflecting its status as a public housing authority eligible for HUD's statutory funding streams under the United States Housing Act of 1937 and its amendments, including the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998.
