Housing Authority Of The City Of Lyons

Housing Authority Of The City Of Lyons, a U.S. local government entity subordinate to the City of Lyons, Georgia, operates as a federal grant recipient administering public housing modernization, capital improvements, and operational funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Housing Authority Of The City Of Lyons holds exclusive funding relationships with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, the sole customer across all 42 awards in the recent footprint. The organization receives formula grants under two primary federal programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, modernization, rehabilitation of existing units, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and management improvements; and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy management, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Concrete recent awards include a $439,330 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; a $188,662 Operating Fund formula grant covering January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; an earlier Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029; and an Operating Fund award dated January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2031. All awards are formula-based allocations reflecting the Housing Authority's public housing inventory characteristics rather than competitive application processes; eligible activities must align with the Housing Authority's five-year action plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work.

The Housing Authority's activity remains steady at two awards per year over the past five years, with $12.6 million in combined dollars obligated across all 42 historical awards since 2006. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a U.S. government entity, the Housing Authority does not compete for federal contracts, hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or subcontract — all activity is direct grant receipt from HUD for the operation and capital stewardship of public housing units serving low-income residents in Lyons, Georgia.
