Town Of Hempstead Housing Authority

Town Of Hempstead Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority headquartered in Uniondale, New York, receives federal operating and capital grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to manage and maintain public housing units serving low-income families, elderly residents, and persons with disabilities across Nassau County, Long Island. The Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient, with no federal contracting footprint; 94 percent of its 198 federal awards are prime grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with the remaining 6 percent routed through state intermediaries such as the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services.

The Authority's federal funding portfolio concentrates almost entirely on HUD's formula-based grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) is the dominant vehicle, providing annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative expenses under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Recent operating fund awards include $1.11 million obligated April 20, 2026, through December 31, 2029; $314,055 obligated January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; $507,799 obligated January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; $454,250 obligated January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and $229,880 obligated January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) delivers formula grants for modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and development of additional public housing inventory; a $3.03 million capital fund award was obligated April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and a $250,000 emergency safety and security grant was awarded September 18, 2025, through September 17, 2027, under HUD's Emergency and Non-Presidentially Declared Natural Disaster Set-Aside component. The Authority has also received two sub-grants from the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services (January 26, 2026, and October 17, 2024) for emergency remediation and buildings and contents.

HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 97 percent of the Authority's award count (186 awards); the Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards program represents the remaining 7 awards. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $105.4 million. Activity has remained steady across the past five years — six to eight annual awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — with thirteen awards (dollar magnitude not specified in source) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete or renewal in that window. The Authority's operational footprint is confined to the Town of Hempstead region in Uniondale, New York, serving the public housing portfolio under its administrative control.
