Weslaco Housing Authority

Weslaco Housing Authority, doing business as Weslaco Housing, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Weslaco, Texas, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing. The entity is a direct grant recipient (100% of recent awards) under two primary HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872).

Weslaco Housing operates exclusively as a prime recipient with no federal contract or subcontractor footprint in the source data. The authority's federal engagement is narrowly concentrated — all 124 recent awards come from a single customer, HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, making it a specialized public housing operator rather than a vendor competing for federal contracts. The grant portfolio spans nearly two decades of activity, with seven awards per year consistently awarded across 2022 through 2026, reflecting stable, predictable formula-based funding rather than competitive procurement.

The authority's work centers on public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident services in Weslaco. Operating Fund grants support day-to-day management and maintenance of public housing units, including routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund grants enable modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and emergency repairs to the agency's public housing inventory. Recent examples include a $114,598 Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a $281,129 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030. These funds are allocated according to HUD's established formula based on the agency's inventory characteristics — unit counts, building age, and construction costs — and obligated under 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD regulations governing public housing programs.

Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $15 million. Seven awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete cycle for Operating and Capital Fund allocations. As a government entity and direct grant recipient, Weslaco Housing does not compete on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or BPAs, and does not serve as a subcontractor or vendor to federal contractors.
