The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office administers the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), a $5 billion federal formula grant program that provides operating subsidies to approximately 6,000 local housing authorities to assist in funding the operating and maintenance expenses of their public housing dwellings. The $163,608 award to the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA) on January 1, 2025 supports a range of activities, including management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, and administrative expenses. These funds help BMHA maintain affordable housing for eligible low-income families, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities in Buffalo, New York, with the goal of achieving a 96% occupancy rate and improving quality of life through resident engagement.
