Teague Housing Authority

Teague Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Teague, Texas, is a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, receiving formula-based grants for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies rather than competing for federal contracts.

Teague Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — all 40 awards in its federal footprint are prime grants with no subcontract activity. The authority serves a single customer agency, the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, which administers formula-grant allocations to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide. The authority's grant portfolio consists of recurring allocations under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to public housing inventory; and the Public Housing Operating Fund, which supports day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, utilities, resident services, and administrative costs. Recent named awards include a $102,357 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund allocation effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. All grants are formula-allocated based on the authority's inventory characteristics—unit counts, building age, and construction costs—rather than awarded through competitive application processes. The authority must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System and comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements to sustain eligibility for continued funding.

Activity has remained flat over the past five years at approximately two awards annually, with four awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all forty awards total approximately $3 million. Eligible uses of capital and operating funds include public housing development, modernization, management improvements, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, debt service, and resident supportive services as specified in 24 CFR 905.200 or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.
