Waelder Housing Authority

Waelder Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Waelder, Texas, is a federal grant recipient (100% of awards) receiving formula-based operating and capital grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to manage and modernize public housing units serving low-income residents in its service area.

Waelder Housing Authority operates as a U.S. local government entity and housing authority under the Public Housing Act of 1937. The organization is not a federal contractor and does not hold contract vehicles, prime contract awards, or subcontract positions. Its federal footprint consists exclusively of HUD formula grants distributed through two primary programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.889) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund grants, effective January through December on rolling annual cycles, support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service on public housing properties. Capital Fund grants, awarded on multiyear cycles, fund modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure repairs — including energy efficiency upgrades and financing activities for standard and mixed-finance developments — per an approved five-year action plan or HUD-authorized emergency work under 24 CFR Part 905.

Recent grant activity spans the past four years with consistent biennial awards. Waelder received a Public Housing Capital Fund grant of $132,955 effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, a Public Housing Operating Fund allocation effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032, and a prior Capital Fund award of $132,955 effective May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029. The total federal obligated dollars across all 42 formula grants in the source data amount to $3.1 million. HUD serves as the sole customer agency (100% of awards). Two awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal or reallocation based on HUD's formula calculations and the authority's capital priorities. The authority maintains compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements throughout the grant performance period.
