The county's federal footprint is entirely concentrated within HUD. Two HUD offices account for all 72 awards: the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (46 awards) and the Public and Indian Housing Office (26 awards). The source data spans from October 2004 through July 2026, covering a twenty-two-year grant history with combined obligated dollars of $32.2 million.
