Georgetown Housing Authority

Georgetown Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Georgetown, Texas, receives federal formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and workforce development programs serving low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in the Georgetown area. As a public housing agency, Georgetown Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards) with no role as a federal contractor, prime contractor on federal contracts, or subcontractor.

Georgetown Housing Authority's federal footprint centers entirely on HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The agency holds 48 of its 49 recent awards from HUD, with a single award from the Department of Homeland Security completing the portfolio. The HUD grants fall into three program categories. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring operational subsidies supporting day-to-day expenses, maintenance, security, energy costs, resident services, and administrative implementation; the most recent operating fund award, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, carries $230,649 in potential value. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies capital and modernization financing for infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities that expand or reconfigure public housing inventory; Georgetown's most recent capital fund award, effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, carries $400,008 in potential value. The Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, a project grant awarded June 1, 2025 with ultimate completion May 31, 2028, funds workforce development and employment support services. Combined obligated dollars across all federal awards total $18.5 million over a multi-decade footprint dating to 2006.

Activity has remained modest and relatively flat, averaging two to three awards per year across the past five years, with three awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Georgetown Housing Authority does not compete for federal contracts, hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, or function as a subcontractor. The agency's role is exclusively as a direct federal grant recipient administering HUD formula-based allocations and occasional project grants tied to specific HUD initiatives.
