Housing Authority Of The City Of Vidalia

Housing Authority Of The City Of Vidalia, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Vidalia, Georgia, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as the recipient of capital and operating fund grants for public housing administration and maintenance.

The Housing Authority operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient — all 41 awards in its federal footprint are direct grants rather than contracts or subcontract work. The entity has served a single customer agency across its entire award history: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of awards. The Housing Authority's federal activity consists of recurring formula-grant allocations under two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides funding for modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional housing units, and debt service on public housing financing. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative implementation costs. Recent capital awards include a $354,924 grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, and a May 2025 award covering the period through May 12, 2029. The Housing Authority received a $174,529 operating fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and prior operating fund awards dating to January 2022. These are formula-based allocations calculated using HUD's established methodology based on inventory characteristics including unit counts, building age, and construction costs. The Housing Authority maintains compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and certifies its public housing inventory data annually through HUD's Information Management System.

Activity has remained steady at two awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all historical awards total $11.2 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Housing Authority's role is administrative stewardship of federal public housing resources serving low-income residents in Vidalia, with eligible activities specified in approved five-year action plans or approved by HUD for emergency work and non-presidentially declared natural disaster recovery.
