Arcadia Housing Authority

Arcadia Housing Authority Town Of Arcadia Housing Authority Division, a U.S. government entity based in Arcadia, Louisiana, is a federal grant recipient (rather than a federal contractor) that receives formula grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents.

The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient under two recurring HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) supplies ongoing operational and maintenance funding — a $232,225 award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 covers day-to-day expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service for the authority's public housing stock. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) finances capital improvements and modernization; a $386,395 award dated April 1, 2026 with ultimate completion March 31, 2030 supports construction, acquisition, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing costs that add to or reconfigure the authority's public housing units. All expenditures comply with 24 CFR Part 905 and the Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR Part 200.

The authority's customer concentration is absolute: all 36 awards since 2006 fund HUD Public and Indian Housing Office programs, with combined dollars obligated across the full award history totaling $10.1 million. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with three awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore facing renewal or recompete. The authority utilizes HUD web-based platforms with real-time data analytics to monitor funding levels, occupancy rates, and the number of families served, supporting efficient delivery of safe, decent, and affordable housing to vulnerable populations including elderly residents and families with children within its service area. As one of approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide serving nearly one million units, Arcadia Housing Authority participates in the broader Public Housing Capital Fund program, which distributes capital and management grants across all 50 states and territories under the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act framework.
