Tenaha Housing Authority

Tenaha Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity—specifically a public housing authority based in Tenaha, Texas—that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate and improve public housing in its jurisdiction. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a federal contractor, and does not compete for or hold federal contracts or IDVs.

Tenaha Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants administered through the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority serves as prime recipient on two recurring grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.873), which provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which provides formula-based capital grants for modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and management enhancements of public housing units. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant of $141,899 effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. The Authority has received 39 prime grants across the past twenty years, with combined dollars obligated of $3.6 million, reflecting modest per-award valuations typical of small public housing authorities serving limited inventories.

The Authority's customer concentration is absolute: all 39 awards come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100% of its federal funding. Activity has remained flat at approximately two awards per year across the past five years. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete opportunities or renewal processing on the operating fund and capital fund cycles. The Authority operates no subcontractor relationships and does not bid on federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs; its federal engagement is limited to administration of direct HUD housing authority grants under the 1937 Housing Act framework.
