Eastman Housing Authority

Eastman Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and Public Housing Agency headquartered in Eastman, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient administering public housing modernization, operations, and capital improvements under formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) with no federal contracts, no contracting relationships, and no subcontracting role — it receives formula allocations rather than competing for discretionary procurements.

Eastman Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). The Authority has received ten formula awards spanning the period 2022 through April 2026, with combined obligated dollars of $21.6 million. Representative recent awards include a $730,947 Capital Fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030) supporting public housing modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements; a $347,743 Operating Fund grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032) funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, anti-crime activities, energy costs, and resident supportive services; and earlier Capital Fund and Operating Fund awards dating to May 2022. These grants support low-income public housing serving residents in Eastman, Georgia, with work performed at that single location.

The Authority's customer concentration is absolute — all 40 awards (100% coverage) flow from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, specifically the Public and Indian Housing Office. Capital Fund allocations support eligible activities including public housing development, modernization, management improvements, facility upgrades, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency enhancements, all subject to approved five-year action plans or HUD emergency approval. Operating Fund allocations cover management, routine and preventive maintenance, security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. As a Public Housing Agency participant in a nationwide program serving approximately 2,770 PHAs and 6,000 housing authorities, the Authority receives formula-based allocations calculated using HUD-prescribed forms reflecting inventory characteristics, unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across 2022 through 2026. Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The Authority maintains no federal contract vehicles, IDVs, or BPA relationships and performs no subcontracting work — it is a grant recipient only, not a contracting prime or sub.
