Pearson Housing Authority

Pearson Housing Authority, doing business as Housing Authority Of The City Of Pearson, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Pearson, Georgia, that acts as a direct recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority does not engage in federal contracting, hold federal contract vehicles, or serve as a subcontractor; its federal footprint consists exclusively of HUD grant awards for public housing capital and operating expenses.

Pearson Housing Authority receives recurring annual and multi-year formula grants under two primary federal grant programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which supports capital improvements, modernization, development, and management activities at public housing developments, has funded the authority across multiple award cycles since 2022. Recent Capital Fund grants include awards dated May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028), May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030). The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, security and anti-crime activities, resident services, energy costs, and administrative expenses. Operating Fund grants are dated January 1, 2024 (completion December 31, 2030), January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031), and January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032). In addition, the authority received a one-time emergency safety and security grant of $250,000 on September 18, 2025, under the Public Housing Capital Fund's Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster Set-Aside, designated for capital improvements addressing crime and drug-related activity at its public housing developments, with completion by September 17, 2027. All work is performed in Pearson, Georgia, with the authority independently administering and implementing funded activities in compliance with federal requirements.

Pearson Housing Authority's federal funding relationship is singular and stable. HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 100% of the authority's 40 total federal awards across the source period. Over the past five years, the authority has received two awards annually in 2022, 2023, and 2024; three awards in 2025; and two awards as of 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $2.5 million. Within the next twenty-four months, five awards face ultimate completion dates and will require recompete or renewal action with HUD.
