The municipality's federal footprint spans five primary customer agencies accounting for 72% of awards. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads with 53 awards, anchored in the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) for affordable housing activities, and the Community Development Block Grants program (CFDA 14.218) for community development.
