About Georgia Hap Administrators
The foundation functions primarily as a conduit for federal HUD Section 8 rental assistance in Georgia, making large, recurring payments to local public housing authorities and the state housing agency. Its giving is highly targeted to municipal housing authorities across the state rather than to independent nonprofits, emphasizing the administration of tenant-based rental subsidy programs. This gives the foundation a clear operational focus on sustaining housing voucher payments and supporting local public housing operations.

About Georgia Hap Administrators
Georgia Hap Administrators Inc stands out for one clear reason: its grantmaking is built around administering HUD Section 8 rental assistance in Georgia. The foundation’s recent grants are almost entirely large, recurring payments to public housing authorities and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, all directed to public housing projects under the U.S. Housing Act. In 2025, it awarded $1,539,909 grants to the Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta, the Housing Authority of the City of Augusta, and the Housing Authority of the City of Brunswick, alongside similar payments to other municipal housing authorities across the state. That pattern shows a statewide administrative role rather than a traditional discretionary grantmaker. The foundation’s recipients are public-sector housing bodies in Georgia cities including Macon, Columbus, Decatur, Marietta, Hinesville, Athens, and Americus. The language attached to each award is highly consistent, pointing to payment administration for HUD-supported housing rather than project-based philanthropy. Georgia Hap Administrators Inc therefore reads as a conduit for federal rental assistance funds, with grant activity organized around sustaining voucher and public housing payment systems for low-income renters in Georgia.
What Georgia Hap Administrators Funds
Housing administration is the foundation’s central function. It gave $1,394,909 to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs in 2024 to administer payments for the Department of Housing and Urban Development to public housing projects in Georgia under Sect. 8 of the U.S. Housing Act. Local housing authorities receive the same kind of support. The Housing Authority of the City of Decatur received $1,539,909 in 2025 for the same purpose, and the Housing Authority of the City of Hinesville received $1,394,909 in 2024. The foundation also supports large city authorities with repeated payments across years. The Housing Authority of the City of Columbus received $1,539,909 in 2025 and $1,394,909 in 2024, while The Housing Authority of Macon-bibb County received $1,539,909 in 2025 and $1,394,909 in 2024. These repeated awards point to ongoing operating support for housing voucher administration.
How Georgia Hap Administrators Gives
Typical grant size clusters tightly around a single level: p25, median, and p75 are all near $1.39 million to $1.54 million, with a median of $1,394,909. The grants appear recurring rather than one-off, since the same recipients show up in multiple years, including 2023, 2024, and 2025. The structure is highly restricted pass-through funding tied to HUD Section 8 administration, not discretionary project grants. The available record also shows no individual giving and no program-related investments.
