City Of Nampa

City of Nampa, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Nampa, Idaho, acts as a federal grant recipient focused on community development, transportation infrastructure, victim services, environmental remediation, and airport modernization. The city competes for and receives federal grants across 24 distinct agencies as a prime recipient (68% of awards) and as a sub-recipient under state and local pass-through grantors (32% of awards).

The city's customer concentration centers on four lead agencies that account for 65% of recent awards. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads with 20 awards, primarily Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement formula grants running through 2031–2033 that fund housing, infrastructure, and economic opportunity programs. The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women has issued 18 awards spanning victim services, elder abuse response, and coordinated community response initiatives; the most recent is a $600,000 continuation grant (CFDA 16.528, Enhanced Training and Services to End Violence and Abuse of Women Later in Life) awarded August 1, 2026, running through July 31, 2030 to maintain training and services for abuse victims age 50 and older. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance accounts for 14 awards including Byrne JAG block grants and human trafficking task force funding; the city received $1.2 million (CFDA 16.590, Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders) in October 2024 to expand legal assistance, crisis counseling, and bilingual victim services through partnerships with Rose Advocates, Idaho Legal Aid Services, and Strive Counseling. The Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration Northwest Mountain Region has placed 14 awards supporting taxilane construction, drainage basin installation, perimeter fencing, runway and taxiway maintenance, and automated weather observing system installation at Nampa Municipal Airport; these awards range from $139,540 for Phase 1 design (September 2025, CFDA 20.106) to $510,289 for AWOS installation (July 2025, CFDA 20.106).

Beyond aviation, the city has secured transportation and environmental grants across multiple agencies. The Federal Highway Administration issued a $1.2 million Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) award (CFDA 20.939, July 18, 2024) for the Vulnerable User Identification and Safety Demonstration Project, a $232,320 SS4A award (August 14, 2025) for pedestrian safety assessment at a Meridian intersection, and a $200,000 Highway Planning and Construction award (June 22, 2026) for the Constitution Way and Juniper Street Regional Pathway Connection project. The Federal Railroad Administration awarded $1.5 million (May 1, 2025, CFDA 20.327, Railroad Crossing Elimination Program) for preliminary engineering and NEPA review of a grade separation to eliminate an at-grade rail crossing. The Environmental Protection Agency funded a $3.5 million stormwater and wetland project (October 2, 2023, CFDA 66.962, Geographic Programs—Columbia River Basin Restoration) to construct free water surface wetlands and retention ponds that will intercept 85,500 pounds of suspended solids and phosphorus annually. The Bureau of Reclamation has placed two awards totaling approximately $730,000 for water conservation rebate programs and recycled water pipeline construction (September 18, 2024 and January 1, 2023).

In its sub-recipient role, the city operates as the Nampa Family Justice Center, receiving pass-through funding from Idaho State Police, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and Idaho Department of Transportation for victim services, forensic examiner programs, sexual assault advocacy, collaborative victim services, wastewater treatment improvements, and traffic safety enforcement campaigns. These sub-awards emphasize direct services to vulnerable populations—children, the elderly, and Spanish-speaking residents—through bilingual case managers, forensic nurses, crisis counselors, and advocacy staff.

Recent activity has remained steady at 16–17 awards per year from 2023 through 2025, with seven awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing a modest recompete window. The city's grant portfolio spans community revitalization, public safety, environmental compliance, and infrastructure modernization, with the largest concentration in HUD entitlement grants and DOJ victim services funding.
