Federal Grant Award Summary

The Housing Authority of City of Thomson (Thomson Housing Authority) received $709,581.00 in formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) program. The award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supports capital and management activities for public housing serving low-income residents in Thomson, Georgia. As a formula-based allocation program, the Capital Fund distributes annual grants to approximately 2,770 Public Housing Agencies nationwide managing nearly one million housing units across all 50 states and territories.

The funding will be applied toward eligible capital activities including public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure enhancements as described in 24 CFR Part 905. Permissible uses include construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, facility repairs and upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and financing activities such as debt service payments for standard and mixed-finance developments. All expenditures must align with the housing authority's approved five-year action plan or be emergency-related work approved by HUD. The award reflects Thomson Housing Authority's established funding cycle as a consistent recipient of Capital Fund grants, complementing its concurrent Public Housing Operating Fund awards that support day-to-day operational expenses.
