Wortham Housing Authority

Wortham Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Wortham, Texas, is a federal grant recipient operating under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority does not hold federal contracts; it receives formula-grant allocations for public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction.

Wortham Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of grant awards from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two primary federal grant programs. The authority receives ongoing allocations under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service across the authority's housing inventory. The authority also receives allocations under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), a formula-grant program that distributes resources to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide for capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements. Recent Capital Fund awards to Wortham Housing Authority include a $193,486 formula grant effective April 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2030; a prior award dated May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion May 12, 2029; and an award dated May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028.

Activity is flat and formulaic—two awards per year from 2022 through 2026, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with a total of forty awards and $4.8 million combined obligated dollars across the entire source data history. The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient; there are no sub-award relationships. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a local government housing authority, Wortham Housing Authority does not compete for federal contracts and maintains no presence on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. The authority's federal relationship is that of a formula-grant recipient implementing HUD-mandated public housing operations and capital improvements in Wortham, Texas.
