Douglas Housing Authority Inc.

Douglas Housing Authority Inc., a tax-exempt not-for-profit public housing agency headquartered in Douglas, Georgia, is a recipient of formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) programs. The Authority does not compete for federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient, with all 80 awards in its federal footprint issued by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office since 2006.

Douglas Housing Authority administers and operates public housing stock serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in Douglas, Georgia. Its HUD formula grants fund two categories of activity: ongoing operational and maintenance expenses, and capital improvements and modernization. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security programs, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses required under the Housing Act of 1937. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, infrastructure repairs, emergency work, and development activities that add to or reconfigure the Authority's housing unit inventory, all subject to an approved five-year action plan and HUD compliance requirements.

The Authority's recent grant awards include a $1,355,127 Public Housing Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) and two Public Housing Operating Fund grants totaling approximately $620,259 (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032). Activity has remained flat, averaging four awards per year over the past five years, with four awards completing in the next twenty-four months. Combined obligations across all eighty grants total $37.3 million. As a formula-grant recipient rather than a competitive contractor, Douglas Housing Authority's federal funding is determined by HUD allocation criteria based on housing inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive procurement processes or bid competition.
