Housing Authority Of The City Of Lafayette

Housing Authority Of The City Of Lafayette, doing business as Lafayette Parish Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing inventory serving low-income residents throughout Lafayette Parish, Louisiana. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of recent awards) and does not compete on federal contracts or sit on procurement vehicles.

The Lafayette Parish Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on three core HUD grant programs under CFDA authorities. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula grants for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Recent awards include $418,616 (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) and $425,934 (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) under this program. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula grants for capital activities including physical modernization of existing units, development of new public housing inventory, management improvements, financing activities, and emergency repairs specified in approved five-year action plans. The authority received $1,438,654 (effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) under this program. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds salary and fringe benefits for coordinators who provide employment and economic mobility services to participating families. Recent awards total $101,306 (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) for coordinator positions serving a minimum of 25 participating families.

Customer concentration reflects the authority's single dominant federal relationship. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 76 of 77 total awards (98.7% by count). One award from the Department of Homeland Security appears in the source data but carries no dollar value or description. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $48.7 million. Activity has remained stable at four awards per year across 2024, 2025, and 2026 to date. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in that window. The authority operates no federal contracts, GWACs, BPAs, or other procurement vehicles and does not serve as a subcontractor on federal awards.
