Geneva Housing Authority

Geneva Housing Authority, doing business as Elmcrest Apts, is a not-for-profit public housing authority based in Geneva, New York that receives recurring federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient under formula-based Public Housing Operating Fund and Public Housing Capital Fund programs (CFDA 14.850 and 14.872). The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient; it has never held federal contracts or IDVs and does not subcontract on federal awards.

The organization's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD grants distributed through the Public and Indian Housing Office (83 awards) and the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (16 awards), accounting for 100% of recent activity. Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, management and maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development costs. Both programs operate as formula grants with no competitive application requirement; allocations are calculated annually based on the characteristics of the public housing inventory and must be obligated in accordance with HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plans. Representative recent awards include a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2026 (ultimate completion December 31, 2032), a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025 (ultimate completion May 12, 2029), and a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 totaling $125,614 (ultimate completion March 31, 2030). Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $17 million. Activity has remained flat over the past five years (two to four awards annually from 2022 through 2026), and only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, indicating low near-term recompete exposure. Geneva Housing Authority operates a public housing portfolio in upstate New York under the federally subsidized public housing system, serving approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationwide serving 1.59 million residents in 902,436 households.
