Housing Authority City Dawson

Housing Authority City Dawson, a local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Dawson, Georgia, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital modernization, development, and operating expenses for its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents. The entity is a federal grant recipient, not a federal contractor, and operates exclusively as a prime recipient with no federal contracting or subcontracting footprint.

Housing Authority City Dawson is a municipally owned public housing authority structured as a U.S. local government entity, without SBA certifications or federal contracting vehicles. The organization operates a portfolio of public housing units serving vulnerable populations including elderly residents and families with children throughout the Dawson area. Its federal engagement is confined entirely to formula grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two program streams: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850).

The Housing Authority's recent grant portfolio includes a $351,518 Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, supporting capital modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and management enhancements under the Housing Authority's HUD-approved 5-year action plan. A second active award, the Public Housing Operating Fund grant of $224,683 beginning January 1, 2026, and running through December 31, 2032, provides seven-year operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, security and anti-crime initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative implementation. Earlier grants span 2022 through 2025, including prior Public Housing Capital Fund and Operating Fund awards with ultimate completion dates between 2026 and 2031.

The Housing Authority's customer base is singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office funds all 41 awards in the source data, spanning the past several years. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $12.9 million. Activity has remained steady at two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with two awards (the May 2022 and February 2023 Public Housing Capital Fund grants) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. As a federal grant recipient rather than a federal contractor, the Housing Authority does not compete on federal procurement vehicles, does not subcontract, and does not sit on IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. Its federal engagement is formulaic: annual or multi-year allocations distributed by HUD under congressionally authorized housing programs to support local public housing operations and capital needs.
