Formula Grant NY01E00550126

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the New York City Housing Authority $250,000 on August 3, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) to fund capital needs for safety and security emergencies, including measures to address crime and drug-related activity.

NYCHA will deliver one-time assistance for safety and security items that address emergency needs within public housing developments and could not be absorbed within the authority's annual capital fund grant. The award covers the period through August 2, 2028, and place of performance is New York, New York.

The Safety and Security Emergency set-aside, from which this award derives, provides funding to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies serving nearly one million units across all 50 states and territories. The maximum grant award amount is $250,000. Awards are distributed through lottery due to high demand and limited availability of funding. PHAs are ineligible to receive Safety and Security funding for the same development or developments for which they have previously received such funding. Only one Safety and Security grant application per PHA is accepted each federal fiscal year, and the qualifying safety and security emergency must occur within the same federal fiscal year that funding is being requested.
