County Of Hudson

County of Hudson Housing and Community Development Division acts as a recipient of federal housing, homelessness prevention, and community development grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, with subordinate sub-award relationships under New Jersey state agencies administering LIHEAP and TANF programs. This is a U.S. local government entity—a division of Hudson County, New Jersey—that does not compete for federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space as a formula-grant recipient and subordinate sub-recipient.

The Division's federal footprint centers on HUD's community planning and development portfolio. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 61 of the Division's 70 awards (87%), with smaller engagement from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (7 awards) and HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (1 award). Recent flagship awards include a $2.45 million Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) formula grant awarded January 9, 2026, obligated through September 30, 2034, for affordable housing expansion including owner-occupied rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, rental housing acquisition and construction, and tenant-based rental assistance; a $183,803 Emergency Solutions Grant (CFDA 14.231) awarded the same date, running through January 8, 2028, funding street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing, and Homeless Management Information System activities; and a $2,388,560 HOME grant awarded January 23, 2025, with a September 30, 2033 completion date. The Division also holds recurring awards under Community Development Block Grants (CFDA 14.228) and Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) funding, both extended through mid-2029 to mid-2031.

Award activity has remained consistent over the past five years—4 to 5 awards annually in the 2022–2026 period—with a combined obligated value of $119.5 million across 70 awards. The Division operates as a prime recipient on 62 awards (89%) and receives sub-awards under New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs and Department of Human Services on six sub-grant awards, including LIHEAP intake and eligibility administration, temporary short-term shelter assistance (SSH), TANF case management, and Self-Sufficiency Income Fixer (SAIF) intensive case management sub-awards issued between 2021 and 2026. Four awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete activity. The Division is a subordinate entity within the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Hudson.
