Winnsboro Housing Authority

Winnsboro Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and housing authority based in Winnsboro, Louisiana, is a direct recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering public housing capital and operating funds for low-income residents in its service area. The organization does not pursue federal contracts as a prime contractor or subcontractor; its entire federal footprint consists of HUD grant work under two formula-grant programs.

Winnsboro Housing Authority's grant portfolio spans two recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Recent awards include a $481,174 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, funding capital and management activities including modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, non-routine maintenance, and code compliance projects across the Authority's public housing inventory. The Authority also received a $227,083 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, providing operating subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, resident supportive services, utilities, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs. Earlier Public Housing Operating Fund awards running through December 2031 and December 2030 likewise support ongoing operations. The Authority's capital planning follows a HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan, with eligible uses governed by 24 CFR Part 905.

Winnsboro Housing Authority's customer concentration is singular: 100% of its forty awards over the past two decades come from the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, with no diversification across other federal agencies or contract vehicles. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $13.8 million. Activity has remained steady at two awards per year across the 2022–2026 window. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the Authority's grant recompete exposure in that window. As a housing authority recipient rather than a federal contractor, Winnsboro operates outside the competitive contracting environment and does not engage in teaming, subcontracting, or pursuit of federal contracts or IDIQs.
