Town Of Hempstead Housing Authority

Town Of Hempstead Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Uniondale, New York, is a federal grant recipient that receives operating and capital subsidies from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under formula grant programs supporting public housing operations, maintenance, and modernization across Nassau County, Long Island. The Authority operates as a prime recipient on 187 of 199 recent federal awards (94%) and as a sub-recipient on 12 awards (6%), with a customer concentration of 97% of awards from two federal agencies: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Authority's grant portfolio centers on two core federal programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides formula-based operating subsidies for day-to-day expenses of public housing — management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative costs required under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Recent operating fund recipients include a $4,080,525 award obligated on August 3, 2026, with performance through December 31, 2030; a $1,111,334 award on April 20, 2026, through December 31, 2029; and a $470,616 award on January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development of additional inventory. A $3,028,476 capital fund award dated April 1, 2026, runs through March 31, 2030. The Authority also receives formula grants from the Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster Set-Aside for safety and security emergencies, including a $250,000 award dated September 18, 2025, through September 17, 2027, to address crime and drug-related activity. HUD operates these as formula grants requiring no competitive application; funding is calculated and allocated annually by HUD based on the characteristics of each PHA's public housing inventory. The Authority maintains web-based platforms providing real-time data on funding levels, occupancy rates, and families served to support portfolio management.

Activity has remained stable at six to nine awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with $110.3 million combined dollars obligated across all 199 awards in the source data. Eight awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore will trigger recompete action. In its sub-recipient role, the Authority received $146,743 in emergency remediation funding from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services in a sub-award dated October 17, 2024, and received $746,743 for buildings and contents in a sub-award dated January 26, 2026, from the same state agency.
