Municipality Of Humacao

Municipality Of Humacao, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Humacao, Puerto Rico, receives federal grants as a prime recipient across housing, transportation, aging services, and disaster recovery programs, with no federal contract prime or sub work and a secondary role as a subrecipient under pass-through grants from state and territorial agencies.

Humacao operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not federal contracting. The municipality has received 52 prime grants and holds 36 sub-recipient positions under pass-through awards from state-level grantees, primarily the Puerto Rico Governor's Authorized Representative and the Oficina Del Procurador De Las Personas De Edad Avanzada. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $261.2 million. Recent grant activity has accelerated: three awards in 2022, seven in 2023, eighteen in 2024, twelve in 2025, and ten year-to-date in 2026. The municipality's customer concentration is moderate and spreads across nine distinct federal agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads by award count at thirty awards, followed by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living at twenty awards and the Administration for Children and Families at eleven awards. The Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration and the Federal Emergency Management Agency each account for eight awards. These five agencies cover 88% of all awards.

The municipality's primary capability footprint centers on public transit operations and infrastructure in the Humacao area. Recent Federal Transit Administration (CFDA 20.507) formula grants include a $118,397 award (February 2026) for one year of preventive fleet and terminal maintenance plus development of a municipal transportation data program; a $245,657 award (August 2023) for acquisition of seven fixed-route public transit vehicles; a $1.28 million COVID-19 recovery grant (June 2022) for vehicle purchases, terminal security camera systems, and four years of operating assistance; and a $1.81 million emergency relief award (September 2021) for permanent repairs to bus terminals and the preventive maintenance garage following Hurricane Maria damage. Community development work flows through HUD Community Development Block Grant (CFDA 14.218) formula awards totaling multiple multi-year tranches (most recent: July 2024, completion September 2031). The municipality also holds Head Start and Early Head Start program grants (CFDA 93.600) from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Head Start, and participates in the HUD Continuum of Care program (project grants) for homeless services coordination. As a subrecipient, Humacao receives nutrition services, aging support, and supportive services funding passed through from the Puerto Rico Office of the Elderly Advocate, with multiple sub-awards for congregate meals, home-delivered nutrition, and Title III B supportive services for seniors. Five awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete renewal windows for the municipality's grant funding.
