Cordele Housing Authority

Cordele Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Cordele, Georgia, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing serving low-income residents, and acts as a prime recipient on 112 of 114 total federal awards in the source footprint.

Cordele Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor—it holds no federal contracts and does not bid on competitive procurements. The authority is a municipal housing agency structured as a government entity, not a vendor eligible for SBA certifications or set-asides. Its federal footprint consists almost entirely of formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which funds day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which finances modernization, development, and capital improvements to the housing stock. Recent awards include a $1,381,207 capital fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $280,972 operating fund award for January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; additional operating fund allocations of $237,049 and $191,241 each for the same 2026–2032 period; and several prior-year operating and capital awards spanning 2022 through 2025. The authority also acts as a sub-recipient on two grants from the State of Georgia Department of Public Health under the Georgia Home Visiting Program, receiving awards on October 1, 2025 and October 1, 2024.

Cordele Housing Authority's customer base is singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of its 112 prime awards, with the Department of Health and Human Services contributing 2 sub-awards. Annual award volume has remained flat—six to seven awards per year across 2022 through 2026—reflecting the formula-driven, non-competitive nature of HUD's public housing programs. Combined dollars obligated across all 114 awards total $46.7 million, accumulated over a twenty-year span since the first award in the source data (July 1, 2006). Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require renewal under HUD's formula-allocation process. The authority's grant activity is confined to the federal grant portfolio; it does not hold or participate in IDIQs, GWACs, BPAs, or any federal contract vehicles.
