The Housing Authority Of The City Of Mount Vernon

The Housing Authority of the City of Mount Vernon, a non-profit domestic shelter organization based in Mount Vernon, Georgia, is a federal grant recipient that operates as the prime recipient of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development formula grants for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies. The organization receives all of its federal funding directly from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office and does not compete for federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor.

The Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of formula grant awards under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. Capital Fund grants support modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure work on the Authority's public housing inventory — eligible activities include modernization of existing units, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency enhancements, emergency repairs, development activities that expand or reconfigure the housing inventory, and financing activities such as debt service. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Recent awards include a $107,953 Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030; an Operating Fund grant running from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; a $107,953 Capital Fund award from May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029; and an Operating Fund grant from January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2031. Earlier Capital and Operating Fund awards span back to at least 2022.

The Housing Authority's activity pattern is steady: two awards per year across 2022 through 2026, with a combined obligated value of $3.6 million across all 36 awards since the first award in 2006. The organization serves a single customer agency, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, at 100% of award volume. Four awards reach completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the Operating and Capital Fund cycles maturing in 2026 and early 2027.
