Formula Grant NY28E05250126

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the City of Batavia Housing Authority $250,000 on August 3, 2026, under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) formula grant program to fund capital needs for safety and security emergencies in public housing developments.

The award supports one-time assistance for safety and security items, including measures to address crime and drug-related activity, that cannot be absorbed within the recipient's annual Capital Fund grant. The recipient must address an emergency safety and security need that occurred within the same federal fiscal year in which funding is requested. The City of Batavia Housing Authority is a tax-exempt municipal housing agency headquartered in Batavia, New York, that operates public housing for low-income residents in its service area.

The grant carries a period of performance from August 3, 2026, through August 2, 2028, with place of performance in Batavia, NY 14020. The Public Housing Capital Fund allocates formula-based awards to public housing agencies annually for capital and management activities including modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements. Awards under the Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster Set-Aside are distributed through lottery given limited funding availability; the maximum award amount is $250,000, and each PHA may receive only one safety and security grant application per federal fiscal year. An agency is ineligible for safety and security funding if it has previously received such funding for the same development or developments for which current funds are being requested.
