Town Of Brookhaven

Town of Brookhaven Grants Division, operating as Town of Brookhaven Town Hall, is a U.S. local government entity based in Farmingville, New York, that acts as a federal grant recipient across housing, emergency management, infrastructure, and environmental programs. The division does not compete for federal contracts; it is a grant recipient only, with 60% of recent awards as prime recipient and 40% as sub-recipient routed through state intermediaries and national nonprofits.

The Town's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward federal disaster and community development funding. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads the portfolio at 35 awards, followed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards at 58 awards, the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region at 13 awards, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office at 11 awards. These five agencies account for 86% of the Town's recent awards. This concentration reflects the municipality's entitlement status under formula grant programs and its exposure to post-disaster recovery funding — the portfolio carries significant activity in FEMA sub-awards routed through the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for drainage repairs, debris removal, and emergency protective measures following storm events.

The Town's recent prime grant work spans multiple federal programs. It is a prime recipient under the Department of Transportation's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), holding recent awards including a $1.707 million project grant (September 18, 2025) for airport lighting vault equipment reconstruction and electrical generator installation at Shirley/East Yaphank Airport, a $463,086.32 design-phase project grant (September 3, 2025) for runway rehabilitation, and a $555,336.84 design-phase project grant (August 14, 2026) for Taxiway L rehabilitation. The Town also receives formula allocations under HUD community development programs: the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.890, $815,292.30 awarded September 12, 2025 through September 2034), the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program (CFDA 14.241, $2.592 million awarded September 12, 2025 through September 2028), the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231, $187,718 awarded September 12, 2025 through September 2027), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896, $102,500 awarded January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026). The Town is also a prime recipient under the Environmental Protection Agency's Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), with a $5.312 million cooperative agreement awarded December 15, 2025 to design and construct sanitary sewer infrastructure for the Mastic Beach Sewer District through June 30, 2028. The Town received a $988,128 cooperative agreement from the Natural Resources Conservation Service under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program (CFDA 10.927, September 30, 2025 through September 2030) for floodplain easement acquisition in Mastic Beach. It also holds a $779,355 project grant from FEMA under the Port Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.056, September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027) supporting maritime security infrastructure.

In its sub-recipient role, the Town receives pass-through funding from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for Hazard Mitigation Assistance and Public Assistance disaster-recovery work, including multiple sub-awards for drainage system repairs, road collapse reconstruction, and debris removal across the township. The Town also acts as a sub-recipient from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for coastal habitat restoration projects, including wetland invasive-species removal at West Meadow Beach and oyster restoration in Port Jefferson Harbor. Sub-awards from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles fund teen driver education programs.

Activity has averaged roughly 12 awards annually over the past five years, with 153 total awards in the source portfolio spanning federal fiscal years 1998 through 2026. Ten awards carrying ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months face renewal or recompete cycles. The Town's grant portfolio reflects its operational posture as a formula-eligible local government entity managing federal entitlements in community development, housing, emergency management, and infrastructure modernization rather than as a competitive vendor pursuing discretionary awards.
