Mcdonough Housing Authority

Mcdonough Housing Authority, a local government housing authority operating under the City of McDonough in McDonough, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient managing formula-based funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.850 and 14.872). The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient under HUD grant programs with no federal contract prime work and no subcontract involvement.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants supporting public housing operations and capital improvements serving low-income residents in McDonough. Recent grants include a $343,563 Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, which provides capital funding for modernization, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements to the Authority's public housing inventory; and a $228,899 Public Housing Operating Fund award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, preventive maintenance, security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Prior grants under the same programs span back to 2022, with awards recurring on annual or multi-year cycles. Combined obligated dollars across all documented awards total $12.4 million.

Customer concentration is absolute — all 37 awards in the source data derive from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which operates as a nationwide formula-based allocation system serving approximately 2,770 public housing agencies and 6,000 housing authorities. Mcdonough Housing Authority qualifies for annual formula allocations based on its certified public housing inventory characteristics, including unit count, building age, and construction costs; the Authority maintains eligibility by submitting accurate inventory data to HUD's Information Management System and annual certifications. Formula grant recipients do not compete for funding and are not required to submit competitive applications.

Activity volume shows a steady two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with four awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The Authority's grant compliance obligations include adherence to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, detailed budgeting and cost record maintenance for HUD review, and independent audit. The Authority operates as a subordinate entity under the City of McDonough's governance structure.
