Mount Kisco Housing Authority

Mount Kisco Housing Authority, doing business as Habitat Management, is a U.S. local government entity and housing authority registered to receive federal awards since March 12, 2009. As a public housing agency, it primarily provides affordable housing services to low-income residents in Mount Kisco, New York. The authority receives federal grant funding to develop, modernize, and manage public housing units, ensuring they meet federal housing standards and remain decent, safe, and sanitary for their residents. Mount Kisco Housing Authority operates as a critical component of the local government's efforts to address housing needs and improve living conditions for vulnerable populations in the community.

Through its federal grant awards, Mount Kisco Housing Authority engages in a range of activities funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office. The authority receives funding through two main programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). Capital Fund grants support activities such as construction, acquisition, demolition, reconfiguration, and energy efficiency upgrades of public housing units. Operating Fund grants enable the authority to cover day-to-day operational costs, perform routine and preventive maintenance, implement security measures, provide resident services, and undertake energy conservation initiatives. These grants, which have ranged from approximately $200,000 to $270,000 annually in recent years, allow the housing authority to maintain and improve its public housing stock, enhance living conditions for residents, and ensure long-term sustainability of its affordable housing programs. The authority manages these grants directly without sub-awards, demonstrating its capacity to implement comprehensive housing solutions for the Mount Kisco community.
