County Of Nassau

County Of Nassau Office Of Community Development, doing business as Office Of Housing And Community Development, is a local government entity and prime recipient of federal formula grants for affordable housing, homelessness services, and community development activities, operating entirely within the Department of Housing and Urban Development's grant ecosystem. The Office operates as a division of County Of Nassau, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Mineola, New York.

The Office's federal grant portfolio centers exclusively on three HUD formula grant programs administered by the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG, CFDA 14.231) funds homelessness intervention across street outreach, emergency shelter operations and rehabilitation, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing with rental assistance, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data coordination; the most recent ESG award was $1,178,324 effective February 27, 2026 through February 26, 2028. The Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME, CFDA 14.239) finances affordable housing development and tenant-based rental assistance through rehabilitation of owner-occupied units, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and direct rental assistance to low-income households; the Office received a $2,052,125 HOME grant awarded February 27, 2026 with completion scheduled for September 30, 2034. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG, CFDA 14.218) program provides formula grants for housing, living environment improvements, and economic development principally benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. The Office also received one Environmental Protection Agency award and one HUD Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control award; specific dollar values for these are not itemized in the source.

The Office's activity shows modest recent volume—four awards in 2024 and two in 2026—across a 72-award footprint spanning from 2003. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development represents 96% of awards (69 of 72). Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $427.1 million. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face grant re-obligation or renewal. The Office operates entirely as a prime grant recipient with no subcontract activity; all work is performed directly by Nassau County's housing and community development staff.
