Municipality Of Humacao

Municipality Of Humacao, a U.S. government entity based in Humacao, Puerto Rico, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on community development, public transportation, early childhood education, and homelessness services. The municipality does not hold federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of grant receipts and grant sub-awards across nine federal agencies.

Humacao's federal grant work centers on three primary capability areas. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 31 awards covering Community Development Block Grants (CDBG Insular Areas program, formula grants running through September 2033 and July 2031) and Continuum of Care homelessness services coordination (annual project grants from 2022 through 2026, with permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems as eligible cost categories). The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded 20 grants focused on elderly nutritional services, supportive services, and congregate and home-delivered meals through its Title III programs. The Administration for Children and Families granted 12 awards for Head Start and Early Head Start operations, including a $4.174 million Head Start Disaster Recovery grant awarded August 1, 2026, to support program recovery following Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, with performance running through July 31, 2028.

The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration accounts for eight formula grants (CFDA 20.507 — Federal Transit Formula Grants) totaling substantial capital and operating assistance. Representative awards include a $118,397 preventive maintenance grant from February 23, 2026, running through March 30, 2031, covering fleet maintenance, terminal repairs, and development of a municipal transportation data program; a $245,657 acquisition grant from August 18, 2023, for purchase of seven fixed-route transit vehicles; and a $1.284 million CARES Act grant from June 2, 2022, supporting vehicle acquisition (replacement minibuses, paratransit vans), security camera systems for terminals and vehicles, and four years of operating assistance, with completion extended through March 30, 2029.

Humacao serves nine distinct federal agencies but concentrates heavily on HUD and HHS programs. The top five funders (HUD Community Planning and Development, HHS Administration for Community Living, HHS Administration for Children and Families, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Department of Transportation) account for 87% of awards. Dollar concentration aligns closely with award volume, driven by HUD's recurring CDBG and CoC formula grants and HHS's standing Title III aging-services programs.

Activity has grown substantially over the past five years, from three awards in 2022 to nineteen in 2024, with thirteen awards in 2026. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. Humacao holds a sub-recipient role on 39 awards (42% of the footprint), receiving pass-through funding from the Governor's Authorized Representative (Puerto Rico state), Oficina del Procurador de las Personas de Edad Avanzada (Puerto Rico aging services), and Municipio de San Juan on aging services, disaster recovery, and tenant-based rental assistance sub-awards. The municipality's combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $266.8 million.
