Hahira Housing Authority

Hahira Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Hahira, Georgia, receives federal operating and capital grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing modernization, development, operations, and maintenance in its service area. The authority acts as a direct federal grant recipient and does not pursue contracts or subcontracts; all 53 awards in the source footprint are prime federal grants spanning the past twenty years.

Hahira Housing Authority's federal funding flows exclusively through two HUD formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day expenses including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital improvement activities — modernization, development, and management improvements — drawn from five-year action plans approved by HUD. Recent awards include operating fund grants awarded January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), and January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030); capital fund grants awarded April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028). Grant activity has remained flat at two awards per year since 2023, following a slight uptick in 2022–2023. Two grants reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority has obligated $3.6 million across fifty-three awards and serves only one federal customer agency — the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office — reflecting the statutory structure of public housing formula grants, which distribute directly to local housing authorities based on need formulas rather than through competitive procurement.
