Municipio De Aguadilla

The Municipality of Aguadilla, a local government entity based in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, is a recipient of substantial federal grant funding administered primarily through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Since its registration in SAM.gov in August 2004, the municipality has served as a prime grantee for multiple HUD community development programs designed to support affordable housing, economic development, and quality-of-life improvements for low- and moderate-income residents. The municipality leverages federal grant resources to implement comprehensive community development initiatives while collaborating with state agencies, local authorities, and specialized service providers to deliver programs across diverse sectors including housing, transportation, public safety, and senior services.

The Municipality of Aguadilla's federal grant portfolio encompasses several major HUD programs, including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, with multiple formula grant awards spanning from 2021 through 2025 and completion dates extending through 2034. Through these awards, the municipality has funded activities including rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and construction of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low-income households. Additionally, the municipality has received a COPS Hiring Program project grant from the Community Oriented Policing Program to advance community policing capacity through the hiring of career law enforcement officers. The municipality's sub-grant awards demonstrate extensive coordination with partners including the Governor's Authorized Representative (for infrastructure and public works projects designated with PW-codes), the Puerto Rico Highway & Transportation Authority (for transportation services, bus acquisitions, bus shelters, and complete streets planning), the Puerto Rico Department of Housing (for infrastructure mitigation programs), the Oficina del Procurador de las Personas de Edad Avanzada (for elderly services including congregate meals, home-delivered meals, supportive services, and nutrition incentive programs), and the Executive Office of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (for border patrol security, emergency response training, and computer-aided dispatch system enhancements). These collaborative efforts reflect the municipality's commitment to addressing housing affordability, infrastructure development, transportation accessibility for elderly and disabled populations, emergency preparedness, and comprehensive senior services across the Aguadilla community.
