City Of Surprise

The City of Surprise is a municipal government located in Arizona, founded in 1938 and now home to over 150,000 residents in the northwest valley region of the Phoenix metropolitan area. As a local government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2004, Surprise primarily receives federal grant awards focused on community development, public safety, and infrastructure improvements. The city has established itself as a recipient of multiple federal grant programs, with a particular emphasis on Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which support initiatives benefiting low- and moderate-income residents through housing rehabilitation, affordable housing programs, and community service enhancements.

Through its federal grant awards, the City of Surprise has pursued diverse projects across public safety, community resources, and infrastructure development. Notable grant awards include the COPS Hiring Program grant to expand law enforcement capacity, a Community Project Funding grant to construct the Northwest Valley Multigenerational Community Resource Center, and multiple CDBG grants supporting housing and community development initiatives. The city has collaborated with various sub-grantee partners such as Native American Connections, Newtown Community Development Corp, A New Leaf, and local county agencies like Maricopa County. Sub-awards have also supported specialized programs including victim assistance units, homeland security preparedness, emergency shelter services, tenant-based rental assistance, and public safety training like de-escalation instruction and drug detection. These grants demonstrate Surprise's commitment to comprehensive community development, public safety enhancement, and social service provision through strategic federal funding mechanisms.
