County Of Mohave

County Of Mohave, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Kingman, Arizona, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on stormwater infrastructure, emergency management, flood mitigation, and social services delivery through cooperative agreements and block grants from federal agencies. The County acts predominantly as a sub-recipient (71% of recent awards) under pass-through funding from Arizona state agencies, with a smaller but active footprint as a direct prime recipient (29% of awards) of cooperative agreements and congressionally mandated projects from the Environmental Protection Agency and Federal Emergency Management Agency.

County Of Mohave's federal activity concentrates within human services and public safety grant programs administered through state intermediaries. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families leads the award count at 33 sub-awards, followed by the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (17 awards) and the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance (14 awards). The Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 12 awards, primarily supporting permanent supportive housing, continuum-of-care coordination, and scattered-site rental assistance for chronically homeless and disabled residents in Mohave County. This five-agency cluster represents 58% of all recent awards. The source tracks combined dollars obligated at $33.3 million, though combined potential value across all awards records as $3 thousand—a data anomaly suggesting incomplete potential-value capture for grant awards in the underlying record.

As a direct prime recipient, County Of Mohave has executed two high-profile cooperative agreements with EPA Region 9. A $1.25 million Congressionally Mandated Projects award issued January 1, 2026, funds the Grace Neal Channel Stormwater Phase 3 Project, extending an existing flood channel westward an additional 4,300 feet to provide storm surge capacity and protect downstream residents from 1% annual chance storm event floodwaters through December 31, 2028. An earlier $1 million EPA cooperative agreement, awarded August 1, 2023, funded the Bank Street Drainage Project in Kingman, Arizona, installing approximately 5,800 feet of 36-inch storm drain piping and associated catch basins to alleviate surface water and flooding hazards recognized along Bank Street; work completed December 31, 2026. FEMA awarded a $600 thousand Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program cooperative agreement on September 8, 2023, to support flood mapping, risk assessments, data modeling, and mitigation planning to enhance National Flood Insurance Program effectiveness.

Sub-award activity flows through Arizona state pass-through grantees. The Arizona Department of Economic Security channels Title I Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult and Dislocated Worker program funds, serving low-income individuals and dislocated workers with job training and employment services. The Arizona Department of Health Services administers public health grants including HIV prevention, sexually transmitted disease services, vaccine program stewardship, overdose data and intervention programs, and behavioral health initiatives. The Arizona Department of Housing directs permanent supportive housing grants for chronically homeless and disabled populations, scattered-site rental assistance, and continuum-of-care coordination for the Mohave County Local Coalition/Continuum to End Homelessness (LCEH). The Criminal Justice Commission Arizona and Arizona Department of Public Safety pass through Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds for law enforcement equipment, victim-witness programs, prosecution support, and cold case forensic services. A sub-award from Arizona Department of Education (December 2024) supported school technology infrastructure improvements.

Award volume has grown in recent years—13 awards in 2022 through 27 in 2024—with a moderation to 21 in 2025 and only 2 recorded awards as of May 2026. One award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. County Of Mohave also maintains subordinate operational entities including Golden Shores Fire Department, Golden Valley Fire District, and Mohave Valley Fire Department, which receive related emergency management and public safety grant pass-throughs from state agencies.
