Talco Housing Authority

Talco Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Talco, Texas, is a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and modernization activities. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not as a federal contractor — receiving formula grants under two core HUD programs without subcontract or sub-grant relationships.

Talco Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD Public and Indian Housing Office grants. The Authority holds recurring awards under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds 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. The Authority also receives grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.869), which supports public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and capital activities as described in 24 CFR Part 905. Representative awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026, with completion March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with completion May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2025, with completion December 31, 2031. All 39 awards in the source are formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, distributed across annual allocations since at least 2006.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with combined dollars obligated across all recent awards totaling $783 thousand. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal. The Authority serves only one distinct customer agency — the Department of Housing and Urban Development — and operates in the public housing operating and capital grant space without federal contracting, IDIQs, GWACs, or sub-award relationships. This is municipal housing authority work funded through statutory formula-grant channels, not federal procurement.
