City Of Dunkirk Housing Authority

City Of Dunkirk Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Dunkirk, New York, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient across public housing operations, capital improvements, and homelessness prevention programs, with no federal contracting activity or subcontracting relationships.

The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient under two HUD offices. The Public and Indian Housing Office funds the majority of the Authority's federal portfolio through formula grants: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which supports day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), a formula grant supporting capital and management activities for public housing modernization, development, and management improvements. The Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds the Authority through the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which establishes and operates projects for permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and in some cases homelessness prevention. Recent representative awards include a $126,005 Continuum of Care grant (awarded September 1, 2026, performance through August 31, 2027), a $692,536 Public Housing Capital Fund award (April 1, 2026, performance through March 31, 2030), and two Public Housing Operating Fund awards totaling $467,657 (January 1, 2026, performance through December 31, 2032). All work is performed in Dunkirk, New York.

The Authority's federal funding footprint is entirely concentrated within HUD: the Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 59 of 76 total awards, while the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for the remaining 17. Over the past five years (2022–2026), the Authority has received four awards annually on a consistent basis, with total combined dollars obligated across all awards of $19.6 million. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
