City Of Pompano Beach

City of Pompano Beach, a municipality based in Pompano Beach, Florida, receives federal grants as a prime recipient to fund municipal infrastructure, affordable housing, and community services, with no federal contracting activity as a prime or subcontractor. The city operates as a direct recipient under HUD community development and housing programs, the FAA Airport Improvement Program, the Federal Highway Administration's Safe Streets and Roads for All program, and the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance, with supplementary sub-grants flowing through the State of Florida and Broward County.

HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the city's federal grant footprint, accounting for 45 of 72 prime awards (84% of recent activity). These grants support formula-based affordable housing development and community development activities under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. The city also receives ongoing formula grants for HOME and CDBG with ultimate completion dates spanning 2029 through 2034, supporting rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, rental housing acquisition and rehabilitation, and tenant-based rental assistance for low and very low-income residents. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region ranks second with 11 awards, all concentrated in airport infrastructure modernization at Pompano Beach Airport. Recent major airport grants include a $5.447 million Runway 10/28 rehabilitation and lighting project (completion July 27, 2029), a $1.17 million taxiway geometry and safety design project under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116, completion June 10, 2030), a $950,000 sponsor-owned FAA contract tower reconstruction award dated August 20, 2026 (CFDA 20.117, completion August 19, 2030), and a $755,000 taxiway signage and markings installation project (completion August 13, 2029). The city also holds a $719,569 Phase 1 design award for additional runway rehabilitation work. Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters and the Bureau of Justice Assistance provide supplementary grants: FEMA supports emergency management and disaster response activities, while BJA's $950,000 Bureau of Justice Assistance grant (completion September 30, 2028) funds the Community Court Initiative, delivering case management, substance use disorder treatment, mental health counseling, housing assistance, and workforce development to reduce recidivism and support formerly incarcerated individuals. The Federal Highway Administration awarded $320,000 under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program (CFDA 20.939, completion March 12, 2028) for comprehensive roadway safety planning.

The city serves as sub-recipient on grants administered by the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management and Florida Department of Environmental Protection, including vaccination support, disaster debris removal reimbursements, COVID-19 response activities, and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund allocations for emerging contaminant water treatment plant upgrades. A sub-grant from Broward County funds the Pompano Beach Gun Initiative for violence reduction and gun safety education.

Award activity has accelerated in recent years, rising from two awards in 2022 to eight in 2025, with seven awards recorded in 2026 through August. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure across the portfolio.
