The Housing Authority Of The City Of Buford

The Housing Authority of the City of Buford, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Buford, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient operating exclusively under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Housing Authority receives formula grants to fund public housing capital improvements, modernization, and operating expenses for low-income housing in Buford.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across two primary grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Capital Fund awards support modernization, development, rehabilitation, and infrastructure improvements to public housing inventory, including construction, acquisition, and significant reconfiguration of units as specified in the Housing Authority's approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work. Operating Fund awards cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Housing Authority holds four active awards in the next twenty-four months: a Public Housing Capital Fund grant of $146,806 awarded April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030); a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032); a Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029); and an Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031). Prior awards dating back to 2022 cover capital and operating needs across the performance periods.

The Housing Authority's customer concentration is absolute — 100% of forty-one recent federal awards come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $15.7 million. Activity is consistent, averaging two awards per year from 2022 through 2026. The Housing Authority operates as a prime recipient only, with no subcontract or sub-award activity; it administers all grant funds directly for public housing operations and capital improvements in Buford under the 1937 Housing Act and HUD regulations.
