Housing Authority Of City Of Mariett

Housing Authority of the City of Mariett, doing business as Marietta Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority located in Marietta, Georgia, that receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income residents. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient — 100% of its 80 awards in the source data are prime grants with no subcontracting activity — and serves two HUD offices: the Public and Indian Housing Office (66 awards) and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (14 awards).

Marietta Housing Authority's primary federal function centers on the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program, governed by Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act and funded under CFDA 14.896. The organization received $262,952 in project grant funding from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office for calendar year 2026 (January 1 through December 31, 2026) dedicated exclusively to salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators. FSS Coordinators deliver employment and economic mobility services to low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance programs, with responsibilities including enrolling and maintaining participating families, developing individualized training and services plans, establishing employer and community service provider partnerships, and guiding families toward economic self-sufficiency over 5–7 year service periods. The award requires the organization to maintain minimum participant enrollment thresholds based on coordinator positions funded. The organization received comparable FSS grants in 2025 ($262,952), 2024, 2023, and 2022, with renewal applicants prioritized by statute for continued funding. Combined federal dollars obligated across all eighty awards total $25.7 million, spanning two decades of HUD programming. Activity has remained flat at one award per year over the most recent five-year period, with one award completing within the next twenty-four months.
