Jamestown Housing Authority

Jamestown Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Jamestown, New York, receives federal grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under formula grant programs for public housing operations and capital improvements. The Authority does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal funding footprint consists exclusively of HUD grants.

Jamestown Housing Authority operates two recurring HUD formula grant programs. Under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850), the Authority receives annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses for its public housing inventory. Recent operating fund awards include $348,026 granted on January 1, 2026, with performance through December 31, 2032, and prior-year awards on January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2024, each running through December 31, 2031 and 2030 respectively. Under the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872), the Authority receives formula grants for capital development, modernization, and management improvements. The most recent capital fund award of $570,163 was granted on April 1, 2026, with completion through March 31, 2030; earlier capital fund awards were granted May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), May 6, 2024 (completion May 5, 2028), February 17, 2023 (completion February 16, 2027), and May 12, 2022 (completion May 11, 2026). Eligible capital activities include construction and acquisition of additional public housing units, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and financing activities such as debt service, subject to approval in a five-year action plan or HUD authorization. Place of performance is Jamestown, New York.

The Authority's award history spans from 2003 to present, with 64 total federal awards, all prime grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $16.7 million. Award frequency has held relatively flat over the past five years—three to four awards annually from 2022 through 2026. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete cycles aligned with HUD's annual funding allocations. The Authority operates under audit requirements per 2 CFR 200, with regular independent public accountant audits of PHA operations. Obligation deadlines may be extended if requested before expiration; expenditure deadlines cannot be extended. Award amounts may be appealed within forty-five days if the Authority demonstrates errors in HUD's formula inputs.
