Gallatin Housing Authority

Gallatin Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Gallatin, Tennessee, receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operating expenses. The Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, not as a contractor or subcontractor; all 59 awards in the source derive from HUD formula-grant programs reserved for housing authorities rather than competitive procurement.

The Authority's federal footprint centers on two recurring HUD grant vehicles: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Capital Fund awards finance construction, acquisition, demolition, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, and infrastructure improvements to the Authority's public housing inventory, with eligible activities either specified in the Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or approved by HUD for emergency work. A $1.269 million Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026 carries a completion date of March 31, 2030. Operating Fund awards provide subsidies for day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. A $571,032 Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032 exemplifies this recurring grant stream.

All 59 awards flow from a single customer agency — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — representing 100% of the Authority's federal award portfolio, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $44.1 million since the first recorded award in July 2006. Award frequency is steady at two per calendar year across 2022 through 2026, indicating consistent formula-grant allocation. Eight awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will cycle through the HUD formula-grant renewal process during that window. The Authority serves low-income families, elderly residents, and individuals with disabilities in the Gallatin area through its public housing portfolio, funded under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended. Gallatin Housing Authority maintains compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and certifies public housing inventory accuracy in HUD's Information Management System to sustain program eligibility.
