The Housing Authority Of Columbus Georgia

The Housing Authority of Columbus Georgia, doing business as Columbus Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Columbus, Georgia, that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient for public housing operations, capital modernization, and family self-sufficiency programs. The Housing Authority operates exclusively in the grant space with no federal contract prime or sub-award activity.

The Housing Authority's federal grant portfolio is anchored in HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office programs. Recent awards include a $1,748,926 formula grant under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) dated April 1, 2026, funding capital and management activities through March 31, 2030; a $105,100 project grant under the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for calendar year 2026 supporting FSS coordinator salaries to serve at least 25 participating low-income families; and two recurring Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) formula grants totaling $865,833 across the 2026–2032 period funding day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses. The Housing Authority has received 194 total federal grants since 2006, with $134.1 million combined dollars obligated. The Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 193 of these awards (100% of recent activity through the Public and Indian Housing Office), with one award from the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The Housing Authority's grant activity has remained stable at four to seven awards per year over the past five years, with seven grants facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, including multiple Public Housing Operating Fund and Capital Fund grants expiring between 2027 and 2028. As a local government housing authority, the organization is not positioned as a federal contractor or subcontractor and does not pursue federal procurement vehicles; its federal relationship is exclusively as a direct grant recipient delivering public housing, maintenance, and resident services to low-income families and elderly residents in the Columbus area.
