City Of Ellijay Housing Authority

City Of Ellijay Housing Authority is a non-profit public housing agency in Ellijay, Georgia, that receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing inventory serving low-income residents, including elderly residents and families with children. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient and has no federal contract prime or subcontractor activity; all 35 awards in its recent footprint are prime grants from a single federal customer — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — representing $8.3 million in combined obligated dollars.

City Of Ellijay Housing Authority is designated American Indian Owned in the source structure, though the Authority itself is a municipal entity headquartered at 29 Green Circle in Ellijay, Georgia. The Authority's federal grant footprint concentrates entirely on two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). The Operating Fund provides operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administration and program implementation. The Capital Fund supports capital and management activities including modernization, development, emergency repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and infrastructure upgrades to the Authority's public housing inventory. All expenditures must comply with eligible activities defined in 24 CFR 905.200 and be specified in the Authority's approved five-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

The Authority holds overlapping Operating Fund and Capital Fund grants running concurrently through 2030 and 2032, awarded on formula-based allocation rather than competitive selection. A representative Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, provides $341,308 to support public housing modernization, development, and management improvements. Activity is flat at two awards per year across the past five years, with two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and facing recompete renewal. The Authority does not act as a subrecipient on any grants nor does it hold any federal contract vehicles, parent contracts, or teaming relationships in the source data.
