Thomaston Housing Authority

Housing Authority of Thomaston, a U.S. local government entity and division of the City of Thomaston, Georgia, operates as a federal grant recipient serving public housing residents in Thomaston through formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority does not hold federal contracts, compete as a contractor, or pursue subcontract work; it functions solely as a recipient of HUD grants for housing operations and capital improvements.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula-grant awards under two primary programs spanning the past five years. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, security, energy, resident services, and insurance — with recent awards dated January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), and January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital modernization, infrastructure improvements, development of new housing units, and related financing — with recent awards including a $2.1 million grant dated September 8, 2023 (completion September 7, 2027), a $980,156 award dated April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), and earlier awards from May 6, 2024; May 13, 2025; and February 17, 2023. The Authority also received a project grant under the JOBS-PLUS Pilot Initiative (completion May 31, 2027) and an earlier JOBS-PLUS award (completion June 30, 2024, now closed).

The Authority serves a single federal customer — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — across all 64 awards in the source data, with combined dollars obligated totaling $29.1 million. Award activity has remained steady at three to four awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a formula-grant recipient, the Authority's awards are calculated based on its public housing inventory characteristics and do not compete against other providers; funding flows directly from HUD to support housing operations and capital activities for low-income residents, including elderly individuals, families with children, and persons with disabilities in Thomaston. The Authority maintains required compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD's Information Management System for inventory tracking and reporting.
