Municipality Of Juana Diaz

Municipality Of Juana Diaz (doing business as Municipio De Juana Diaz), a U.S. local government entity based in Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico, is a federal grant recipient (60% of recent awards as prime recipient) and sub-recipient (40% of recent awards) in housing assistance, community development, emergency management, and public safety programs. The municipality does not hold federal contracts; its federal funding footprint is exclusively grant-based, distributed across housing self-sufficiency coordination, community development block grants, disaster recovery and resilience infrastructure, public transit operations, and law enforcement hiring.

HUD dominates the municipality's customer concentration. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (23 awards) and Public and Indian Housing Office (10 awards) together account for 33 of 49 grants listed in the source, spanning a nine-year window from 2007 through 2026. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards office has placed 14 awards, primarily for infrastructure mitigation and resilience work. The remaining funding comes from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program. The municipality does not have a material contract footprint and therefore does not sit on federal GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs.

Representative prime-recipient work includes three tranches of Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 annual awards) to fund salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators serving public housing and housing choice voucher residents; four Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula grants from HUD's Community Planning and Development office (awards in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, with ultimate completion dates ranging to 2033); and a $487,562 COPS Hiring Program grant from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (awarded October 1, 2022, completion September 30, 2027) to hire career law enforcement officers for community policing capacity.

The municipality also acts as sub-recipient on numerous pass-through awards, predominantly routed through Puerto Rico's Governor's Authorized Representative and the Puerto Rico Department of Health. Notable sub-recipient activity includes a June 2024 tenant-based rental assistance award from the Puerto Rico Department of Health and a September 2024 transit operating-assistance award supporting fixed-route bus service rental, driver salaries, fuel, and the acquisition of four buses for fixed-route service ($1.3 million in federal funds). Earlier sub-grants from the Governor's Authorized Representative, dated December 2022, fund multiple infrastructure and disaster-recovery projects identified by project work (PW) numbers across dozens of initiatives.

Activity has been uneven. The municipality received eight awards in 2022, two in 2023, nine in 2024, seven in 2025, and two in 2026 (through May). Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore represent recompete opportunity. The municipality's grant footprint reflects its operational role as a municipal government recipient of federal formula and project grants for housing, community development, disaster resilience, and public safety programming, not as a service vendor to federal agencies.
