Smithville Housing Authority

Smithville Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Smithville, Texas, is a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates exclusively within the federal grant space—not the contract market—receiving formula grants under two core HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

Smithville Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of 42 awards, all prime grants, with no subrecipient or contractor relationships. All awards originate from a single customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Recent grants include a $167,562 Public Housing Operating Fund award (CFDA 14.850) issued January 1, 2026, with completion December 31, 2032, to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for public housing units serving low-income residents in Smithville, Texas. A $223,405 Public Housing Capital Fund award (CFDA 14.872) issued April 1, 2026, with completion March 31, 2030, supports public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements, including energy efficiency enhancements, management improvements, and emergency repairs. An additional undated operating grant issued August 3, 2026, with completion December 31, 2030, follows the same operational funding pattern. These formula grants are part of HUD's $5 billion national Public Housing Operating Fund program supporting approximately 6,000 housing authorities and the $2.77 billion Public Housing Capital Fund serving approximately 2,770 PHAs nationwide.

Activity has remained relatively flat, with four awards in 2022 and 2023, two in 2024 and 2025, and three in 2026. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $6.1 million, reflecting the formula-grant nature of HUD housing authority funding. Place of performance is Smithville, Texas. The authority operates within the federal grant system as a direct recipient of formula allocations, not as a federal contractor or subcontractor on contract vehicles.
