Town Of Brookhaven

Town Of Brookhaven Grants Division, doing business as Town Of Brookhaven Town Hall, is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Farmingville, New York, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient across housing, infrastructure, emergency management, and community development programs, with a secondary footprint of sub-awards routed through New York State and national nonprofit intermediaries.

The Town operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a federal contractor or competitive vendor. Across 152 awards in the source data, the Town acts as prime recipient on 91 awards (60%) and sub-recipient on 61 awards (40%), with combined obligation across all awards totaling $127.4 million. The Town's grant portfolio is dominated by formula allocations from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development and by Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster-assistance awards. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of award count: FEMA Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards leads at 58 awards, followed by HUD's Community Planning and Development division at 35 awards, the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service at 15 awards, the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region at 12 awards, and HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office at 11 awards. The concentration signal is inverse to typical federal contractor patterns — FEMA's high award count reflects multiple disaster-recovery sub-grants flowing through the Town rather than large single procurements.

On the prime-recipient side, the Town receives recurring formula grants under HUD's HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) for affordable housing development and rehabilitation, the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) for coordinator salaries serving public housing residents, and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program (CFDA 14.241) for housing assistance to individuals with HIV/AIDS in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Recent examples include a $2.592 million HOPWA formula grant awarded September 12, 2025 (with $2.514 million sub-awarded to United Way of Long Island as the HOPWA Project Sponsor), an $815 thousand HOME formula grant awarded September 12, 2025 through September 30, 2034, and a $102.5 thousand Family Self-Sufficiency Project Grant awarded January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. The Town also receives emergency-response and infrastructure grants from FEMA and the Federal Aviation Administration for airport and municipal infrastructure improvements. A $5.31 million cooperative agreement from the EPA Region 2 under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), awarded December 15, 2025, funds design and construction of the Mastic Beach Sewer District. The National Resources Conservation Service awarded a $988 thousand cooperative agreement (CFDA 10.927) on September 30, 2025 for Emergency Watershed Protection Program floodplain easements in Mastic Beach through September 2030. The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded multiple project grants for runway, lighting, and airfield equipment reconstruction and design at Shirley/East Yaphank airport, including a $1.707 million project grant awarded September 18, 2025 for final construction phase of airport lighting vault and emergency generator installation.

On the sub-recipient side, the Town receives pass-through awards from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for disaster recovery and repair activities — drainage system repairs, road collapse remediation, debris removal, and sidewalk damage restoration — following declared disasters. The Town also receives sub-awards from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation for coastal habitat restoration, including wildlife tunnel installation for diamondback terrapins and invasive plant removal at coastal forest sites in the Town. Awards from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles fund teen driver education programs.

Activity has remained flat to slightly declining over the past five years (14 awards in 2022, falling to 4 awards in 2026 year-to-date through mid-May), with ten awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The Town's federal grant portfolio reflects entitlement-community status and eligible-municipality classification under HUD formula programs rather than competitive procurement posture; the municipality does not pursue or hold federal contract vehicles and does not function as a federal contractor or service provider to other agencies.
