Athens Housing Management Agency, Inc.

Athens Housing Management Agency, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Athens, Alabama, is a recipient of federal grants funding employment and economic mobility services for low-income housing residents, operating exclusively as a prime recipient with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Under these awards, Athens Housing Management Agency funds FSS Program Coordinator salaries and fringe benefits to serve low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance programs. The coordinator role includes enrolling and maintaining program participants, developing individualized training and services plans, establishing employer and community service provider partnerships, and facilitating family engagement toward economic self-sufficiency goals over multi-year service periods. Each funded coordinator position requires the agency to maintain at least 25 participating families in the program, with thresholds increasing by 50 families for each additional coordinator position. The three consecutive annual awards — granted January 1, 2024, January 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026 — total $273 thousand in combined obligated dollars. The most recent award, dated January 1, 2026 and carrying $131,756 in grant funds, runs through December 31, 2026. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to recompete risk on its renewal application. HUD prioritizes renewal applicants by statute for FSS funding, which supports approximately 900 programs run by public housing authorities and PBRA property owners nationwide.
