Housing Authority Of The City Of Trinidad

Trinidad Housing Authority, doing business as Housing Authority Of City Of Trinidad, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Trinidad, Texas, that receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, operations, and maintenance activities serving low-income residents in Trinidad.

Trinidad Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient — 100 percent of its 42 tracked awards are prime grants with no subcontract engagements. The authority receives all funding from a single federal customer, the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office, and operates under two primary HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Capital Fund grants support public housing development, modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and management activities within an approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management costs, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative overhead — all consistent with the Housing Act of 1937 as amended.

Trinidad Housing Authority's recent grant portfolio reflects a steady cadence of two awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Representative awards include a $140,299 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026, extending through December 31, 2032; and earlier Capital Fund grants awarded in May 2025 and May 2024, each carrying multiyear performance periods. The authority has accumulated approximately $4.8 million in combined obligations across all 42 tracked awards. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating potential recompete activity against the ongoing formula-based allocation cycle. As a public housing authority, Trinidad Housing Authority does not compete for contracts on open market vehicles, federal schedules, or GWACs; its federal engagement is restricted to formula-grant distributions from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.
