Savannah Housing Authority

Savannah Housing Authority Inc., a U.S. government entity and public housing authority based in Savannah, Tennessee, receives federal operating and capital grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund day-to-day operations, maintenance, and development activities for its public housing portfolio. The authority operates as a prime grant recipient, not as a federal contractor or subcontractor; all 36 awards in the source record are formula grants from HUD spanning the past two decades.

Savannah Housing Authority's grant portfolio centers on two recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.839) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Under the Operating Fund, the authority receives annual subsidies to cover management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent Operating Fund awards include a grant awarded January 1, 2026, with ultimate completion December 31, 2032, and an earlier award dated January 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2031. Under the Capital Fund, the authority funds public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure upgrades aligned with its five-year action plan. A Capital Fund award dated April 1, 2026, provided $205,960 in funding for capital and management activities through March 31, 2030. Another Capital Fund award, dated May 13, 2025, runs through May 12, 2029, and a prior award from May 6, 2024, extends to May 5, 2028. Work is performed in Savannah, Tennessee, serving low-income residents in the authority's public housing inventory.

The authority's award concentration reflects the structure of public housing funding: 100% of the 36 grants come from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, the sole customer agency. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $6.2 million. Activity has remained steady at approximately two awards per year over 2022 through 2025, with three awards recorded in 2026. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunities as those grants near expiration. The authority does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs and does not perform work as a subrecipient on grants.
