Town Of Van Horn Housing Authority

Town Of Van Horn Housing Authority San Antonio Division is a U.S. government entity — a local housing authority — that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations and capital modernization in Van Horn, Texas.

The entity operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, not as a federal contractor or vendor. It has received 31 federal grants across the past twenty years, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no prime contracting activity or subcontracting engagement. The authority is not a business vendor; it is a public housing agency established under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and headquartered at 1409 W Grama Street in Van Horn, Texas.

Town Of Van Horn Housing Authority receives two recurring formula grant streams from HUD. The first is the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure repairs. The second is the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not separately specified), which funds day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent awards include a $114,370 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. Earlier awards include a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029, and an Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2025, with ultimate completion December 31, 2031.

The authority has obligated $2.4 million in combined federal dollars across all awards to date. Award volume has remained flat at approximately two awards per year across the past five years (2022–2026). Two awards face completion inside the next twenty-four months and will therefore require recompete or renewal actions. Because this is a formula-based grant recipient rather than a competitive contractor, the authority does not compete for work or pursue contract vehicles; it receives annual allocations determined by HUD based on public housing inventory characteristics such as unit counts, building age, and construction costs.
