Amsterdam Housing Authority

Amsterdam Housing Authority, a U.S. local government housing authority based in Amsterdam, New York, is a recipient of federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating as a public housing agency rather than a federal contractor. The Authority operates the Family Self-Sufficiency Division, which delivers employment and economic mobility services to low-income residents in public housing and voucher-assisted properties.

Amsterdam Housing Authority's entire federal funding footprint stems from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office through three recurring grant programs. The Authority holds active grants under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which funds infrastructure modernization, development, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to its public housing inventory; the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which covers day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, anti-crime activities, and resident supportive services; and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896), which funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS Program Coordinators who enroll and serve low-income families in employment-focused case management. Recent grants include a $311,625 capital fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a $250,440 Family Self-Sufficiency project grant awarded January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026; and a $170,744 operating fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026 with a completion date of December 31, 2032. The Family Self-Sufficiency grant obligates the Authority to hire or retain one full-time equivalent coordinator position and maintain a minimum of 25 participating families during the period of performance.

Activity has remained steady at three awards per year across the past five calendar years, with combined dollars obligated across all sixty-four awards totaling $23.7 million. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, exposing the Authority to grant renewal in that window. All funding derives from a single federal customer — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — which accounts for 100% of awards. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or sub-award footprint and holds no seats on federal contract vehicles.
