Housing Authority Of City Of Thomson

Housing Authority Of City Of Thomson, doing business as Thomson Housing Authority, is a U.S. government entity — a municipal housing authority based in Thomson, Georgia — that receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and improve public housing inventory. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint; all 46 federal awards in its recent activity are formula-based grants under HUD programs rather than competitive procurements.

Thomson Housing Authority's federal funding concentrates entirely in HUD's Public and Indian Housing program. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 45 of 46 total awards (98% of recent activity), with a single award from the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration. Recent grant awards span two recurring HUD vehicles: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, property management, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds capital improvements, modernization, infrastructure repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, development of additional public housing units, and mixed-finance financing activities. A representative award cycle includes a $709,581 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant awarded April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030) for capital and management activities to maintain and improve public housing units; a $402,427 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032) for operational expenses and maintenance; and a prior $709,581 Capital Fund allocation awarded May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029). These are formula allocations calculated by HUD based on established metrics reflecting inventory size, building age, and construction costs rather than competitive selections.

Activity is modest and flat — two awards annually across 2023–2026 against a combined obligated value of $23.1 million. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure for the authority. Thomson Housing Authority's grant work is funded exclusively for public housing operations and capital improvements serving lower-income residents in Thomson, Georgia, with particular focus on elderly residents and families with children, consistent with HUD's statutory mandate under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
