Valdosta Housing Authority

Valdosta Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority headquartered in Valdosta, Georgia, acts as a recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing operations, capital improvements, and resident employment programs serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities across its portfolio. The authority receives 100 percent of its federal funding from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime grant recipient and does not pursue federal contracts or subcontract work.

Valdosta Housing Authority's federal footprint spans three primary HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides recurring formula grants to support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Recent operating fund awards include $348,464 obligated January 1, 2026 (running through December 31, 2032), $647,045 obligated January 1, 2026 (through December 31, 2032), $380,745 obligated January 1, 2026 (through December 31, 2032), and $529,980 obligated January 1, 2026 (through December 31, 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) furnishes formula grants for capital-intensive work including housing modernization, development, major systems replacement, accessibility modifications, construction, and acquisition of additional public housing units. Valdosta Housing Authority received $1,948,148 under the Capital Fund program awarded April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, and a $250,000 safety and security emergency award on September 18, 2025, running through September 17, 2027. The authority also received project grants under HUD's Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, a place-based employment and economic advancement program for public housing residents, with awards issued June 1, 2024 (running through May 31, 2027) and August 1, 2024 (running through January 31, 2029).

Valdosta Housing Authority has received 105 federal awards across the past twenty years, with consistent activity averaging five to seven awards annually in recent years. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $66.4 million. Seven awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure in operating and capital fund formulas. The authority's entire customer base comprises a single federal agency — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — reflecting the statutory grant framework under which public housing authorities nationwide operate as direct recipients of formula and project grant allocations under the Housing Act of 1937 and related amendments.
