Fort Oglethorpe Housing Authority

Fort Oglethorpe Housing Authority, a U.S. government entity and public housing authority based in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, administering public housing modernization, operations, and capital improvement activities for low-income residents in Rossville, Georgia.

Fort Oglethorpe Housing Authority operates exclusively as a formula-grant recipient — not as a federal contractor — and receives all funding from a single customer: the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority has received 33 awards since 2006, with consistent annual allocation of two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, for a combined obligated total of $4.3 million. The authority does not hold federal contracts, contract vehicles, or prime awardee status; it participates solely in HUD's entitlement grant programs.

The authority's grant portfolio splits between two HUD formula programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.874) provides annual operating subsidies for day-to-day management, routine and preventative maintenance, security, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) funds capital and modernization activities including infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development of new public housing units. Recent awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2031, and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029, with an earlier capital grant running through May 5, 2028 and effective from May 6, 2024. These are formula allocations calculated by HUD based on unit count, building age, and construction costs; the authority must maintain compliance with 2 CFR 200 and 24 CFR Part 905 and obligate funds according to its HUD-approved 5-year capital action plan or for emergency and disaster-related work.

Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete or renewal cycles within that window. The authority's federal engagement is limited to housing administration and capital stewardship within a single federal grantor, with no contracting or vendor-relationship activity in the federal marketplace.
