Waynesboro Housing Authority

Waynesboro Housing Authority, doing business as Regional Office Of The Housing Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Waynesboro, Georgia that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing serving low-income residents.

The authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under two formula grant programs administered by HUD: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Recent awards include a $620,177 operating subsidy (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032), a $1,396,004 capital fund grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), and a prior-year capital allocation (May 6, 2024 through May 5, 2028). Operating fund grants support day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Capital fund grants support modernization of existing public housing units, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, emergency repairs, facility enhancements, and development activities that add to or reconfigure the housing authority's affordable housing inventory. The authority's activities must comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and HUD-established timelines, with capital projects executed according to a five-year action plan approved by HUD.

Waynesboro Housing Authority has received 65 awards across the past two decades with a combined obligated value of $47.3 million, all from a single federal customer: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority holds 100% of its federal awards as a prime recipient, with no subcontracts or sub-awards. Activity is consistent at three awards per year from 2022 through 2026. Three awards currently face completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal or recompetition in that window. The authority does not hold federal prime contracts or seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles; its federal relationship is exclusively grant-based and formula-driven, allocating capital and operating support to a local public housing portfolio serving elderly individuals, families with children, and persons with disabilities in the Waynesboro area.
