Nicholls Housing Authority

Nicholls Housing Authority, a local government entity headquartered in Alma, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient administering public housing operating and capital improvement programs funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority does not engage in federal contracting as a prime or subcontractor; its federal footprint consists entirely of formula grant awards for public housing administration and modernization.

Nicholls Housing Authority receives recurring annual and multiyear formula grants under two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service on public housing units. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) funds public housing modernization, development, and management improvements carried out under an approved five-year action plan or for emergency and disaster-related work. Recent awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant dated April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2030. The authority also holds an additional Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2025, extending through December 31, 2031, and prior capital fund awards from May 6, 2024, February 17, 2023, and May 12, 2022.

All forty awards in the source span the past twenty years and flow from a single federal customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100% of documented federal activity. The authority operates as a prime recipient on all awards; no subrecipient or subcontractor relationships appear in the federal record. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $2.3 million. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure tied to the annual and multiyear grant renewal cycle. The authority's federal role is administrative and operational rather than commercial — managing federally subsidized public housing inventory and performing eligible modernization and maintenance activities under HUD regulatory authority rather than contracting for goods or services.
