Shellman Housing Authority

Shellman Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Shellman, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient administering public housing modernization, development, and operating programs under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient under formula grants; it does not hold federal contracts, subcontracts, or seats on contract vehicles.

Shellman Housing Authority's entire award footprint derives from two recurring HUD formula grant programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFP) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (PH OpFund). The Capital Fund finances public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and related eligible activities as described in 24 CFR Part 905, including construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, emergency work, and work necessitated by non-presidentially declared natural disasters. The Operating Fund provides subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative and program implementation expenses. Representative awards include a Public Housing Capital Fund grant issued May 13, 2025, with ultimate completion on May 12, 2029; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant issued January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant issued May 6, 2024, with ultimate completion on May 5, 2028.

The authority has received 35 federal awards since 2006, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined obligations of $2.2 million across the portfolio. Activity has remained steady at approximately two awards per year across 2022 through 2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete window. The authority functions solely as a grant recipient; it maintains no federal contract prime relationships, subcontracting relationships, or government-wide vehicle positions. This posture reflects the statutory structure of public housing authorities, which receive formula-grant funding directly from HUD rather than competing for contracts or task orders.
