Housing Authority Of Rayne

Housing Authority of Rayne is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Rayne, Louisiana that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime recipient under two recurring federal grant programs. The authority does not hold prime federal contracts, subcontracts, or positions on government-wide acquisition vehicles; its entire federal footprint consists of HUD grant awards for public housing operations and capital improvements.

Housing Authority of Rayne receives two distinct formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under CFDA 14.850 (Public Housing Operating Fund) and CFDA 14.872 (Public Housing Capital Fund). The Operating Fund award, most recently issued January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 for $252,032, funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Capital Fund award, most recently issued April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030 for $530,117, supports capital and management activities including modernization of existing public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development activities that expand or reconfigure the authority's public housing stock. Both are formula-based allocations reflecting the authority's unit count, building age, and construction costs rather than competitive grants; the authority's capital funds must obligate by March 31, 2030 and operating funds by December 31, 2032. The authority serves low-income residents in Rayne, Louisiana and is part of the nationwide HUD program serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities and over 1.5 million public housing residents.

Housing Authority of Rayne's federal award activity is stable and narrow. Across forty awards spanning from 2006 to April 2026, the authority has received approximately $15.1 million in combined obligated dollars, with two awards per year as a consistent recent pace (2022–2026). All awards come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office; there is no concentration tension because the authority serves a single federal customer. Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing routine recompete exposure tied to HUD's annual formula-grant cycle rather than competitive threat.
