Freeport Housing Authority

Freeport Housing Authority, located at 100 N Main St, Freeport, NY 11520, is a U.S. local government entity specializing in public housing administration and management. Registered with SAM.gov since May 2009, the Authority operates as a housing authority serving low-income residents in the Freeport community through the management and operation of public housing units. As a prime recipient of federal grant funding, Freeport Housing Authority does not serve as a federal contractor and has not engaged subcontractors or prime awardees through federal contracts, but rather receives direct formula grant allocations from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to support its core mission of providing affordable, decent, and safe housing to vulnerable populations.

Freeport Housing Authority has received substantial federal grant support through multiple HUD programs administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office, demonstrating a consistent funding relationship spanning from 2021 through 2026 and beyond. The Authority has been awarded formula grants under two primary HUD funding mechanisms: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), which has provided recurring annual allocations such as $157,941 and $233,426 in recent fiscal years to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses; and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), which has supplied larger capital project grants including $998,737 awarded in May 2025 for housing modernization and development activities. The operating fund grants enable the Authority to perform essential activities including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses necessary to maintain public housing standards under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. The capital fund grants specifically support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure projects as described in 24 CFR Part 905, allowing the Authority to add to or reconfigure its housing unit inventory and address facility improvements. With multiple active grants extending through 2032, including two concurrent Public Housing Operating Fund awards active as of January 1, 2026, and a Capital Fund award extending through May 2029, the Freeport Housing Authority maintains a robust pipeline of federal support dedicated to serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities in its portfolio.
