The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the New York City Housing Authority $250,000 on September 18, 2025, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to address safety and security emergencies within its public housing developments.
The award funds capital improvements to address crime and drug-related activity threats that constitute emergency safety and security needs within the same federal fiscal year the application was submitted. NYCHA, the ultimate recipient, operates public housing serving low-income residents across New York City and identified specific safety and security threats that could not be absorbed within its annual capital fund allocation.
The period of performance runs from September 18, 2025, through September 17, 2027. Work is performed in New York, NY. The assistance type is a formula grant, allocated through HUD's emergency and non-presidentially declared natural disaster set-aside. This award represents one lottery-selected safety and security allocation; approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide are eligible, with a maximum grant award of $250,000. HUD distributes these funds until the emergency and disaster safety and security set-aside is exhausted. PHAs are limited to one safety and security grant application per federal fiscal year and are ineligible to receive additional funding for the same development if previously awarded for that location.
