Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) received a Project Grant award of $815,418 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office under the Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services - Service Coordinators program (CFDA 14.870). Awarded on June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2029, this three-year grant funds service coordinators who connect public housing residents in New York City with supportive services designed to address educational, professional, and health barriers to economic and housing self-sufficiency. The grant is structured under HUD's Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative, which emphasizes employment and economic mobility for low-income families residing in public housing.

Through this award, NYCHA's Office of Executive Vice President of Community Engagement will deploy service coordinators to deliver comprehensive support services that enable residents to achieve greater economic self-sufficiency and housing stability. The service coordinators serve as connectors between residents and community resources, helping participants navigate barriers that impede employment and economic advancement. This funding supports the salaries and operational costs associated with these coordinator positions, enabling NYCHA to sustain and expand its service coordination infrastructure across its portfolio of public housing developments serving low-income residents throughout New York City.
