City Of Chandler, Arizona

City Of Chandler, Arizona Housing And Redevelopment Division operates as a municipal public housing authority and community development entity, receiving federal grants directly as a local government recipient rather than as a contractor. The division's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded, anchored in HUD public housing programs, with secondary activity in community development, transportation infrastructure, and public safety initiatives; it does not operate as a prime or subcontractor on federal contracts and carries no SBA set-aside designations.

The Housing and Redevelopment Division's core capability portfolio centers on public housing operations, capital improvements, and tenant services. The division administers public housing operating funds (CFDA 14.850) and capital improvement grants (CFDA 14.872) that support day-to-day maintenance, modernization, and development of low-income housing stock—illustrated by a $148,255 Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant (January 2026–December 2032) and a $985,668 Public Housing Capital Fund formula award (April 2026–March 2030) for capital and management activities including infrastructure improvements and emergency repairs. The division delivers Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) services through coordinator salaries and fringe benefits, exemplified by a $360,000 project grant (January–December 2026) funding FSS coordinators to serve at least 25 participating families in economic mobility services. Beyond housing, the division has received a $3.75 million Cooperative Agreement from EPA Region 9 (CFDA 66.202) awarded August 2026 for the Tumbleweed Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well Equipping Project, which installs two new ASR wells and conveyance infrastructure to increase recovered water capacity, and a $990,000 EPA Cooperative Agreement (July 2024–June 2026) for Advanced Metering Infrastructure upgrades to water utility systems for automated meter reading and conservation monitoring.

HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office dominates the grant portfolio, accounting for 72 awards across multiple formula programs and project grants; this concentration reflects the Housing and Redevelopment Division's statutory role as a Public Housing Agency. The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (21 awards) and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (21 awards) together represent secondary grant volume, with the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (9 awards) funding public safety technology initiatives. The division also receives smaller grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for firefighter assistance ($2.119 million Assistance to Firefighters Grant, August 2022–August 2024) and the National Endowment for the Arts for community cultural projects.

The division acts as a prime recipient on 78 percent of all awards (130 of 167 total) and appears as a subrecipient on 37 awards, primarily under pass-through grants from the Department of Transportation Arizona and the City of Phoenix. Sub-recipient work includes tenant-based rental assistance, roadway widening and rehabilitation, traffic signal equipment upgrades, and urban forestry initiatives. Activity peaked at 14 awards in 2023; recent years show 6 awards in 2025 and 9 awards in 2026 through August, suggesting a normalized baseline of 9–12 grants per year. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, generating modest recompete exposure within the HUD and DOT formula grant cycles. The division's municipal structure includes a named subsidiary, City Of Chandler Municipal Airport, which operates under separate federal oversight but is not reflected in the Housing and Redevelopment Division's primary grant footprint.
