Housing Authority Of Winnsboro

Housing Authority Of Winnsboro, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Winnsboro, Texas, is a federal grant recipient operating under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority receives formula grants to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, operations, and management activities serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction. All 43 awards in the source data are prime federal grants issued by HUD; the Authority does not operate as a federal contractor, subcontractor, or sit on federal contract vehicles.

The Authority's entire recent award footprint concentrates in two HUD grant programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Under the Capital Fund program, the Authority receives formula grants for eligible activities including public housing development, modernization, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing costs associated with maintaining and improving its public housing units, with expenditures governed by the Authority's approved 5-year action plan or HUD approval for emergency or disaster-related work. Under the Operating Fund program, the Authority receives subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent representative awards include a $109,886 Capital Fund formula grant obligated on April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), a Capital Fund award from May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and an Operating Fund award from January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031).

Award activity has remained modest and relatively flat over the past five years — two awards in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 to date — with combined dollars obligated across all 43 awards totaling $3.3 million. The Authority faces only two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, placing minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The Authority's customer concentration is absolute: all 43 awards are direct formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, reflecting the statutory mechanism through which HUD distributes capital and operating funds to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide. The Authority does not pursue or hold federal contracts, does not subcontract on federal primes, and does not serve as a sub-recipient of federal grants passed through other entities.
