Town Hudson

Town Of Hudson, a municipal government entity in Hudson, Massachusetts, receives federal grants as a recipient (4% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient through Massachusetts state agencies (96% of recent awards), with no federal contracts or contract vehicles in its portfolio. The town's federal funding footprint is dominated by education, nutrition, and substance-abuse prevention pass-through grants flowing from state educational and health agencies.

Town Of Hudson's grant work centers on K-12 education, child nutrition, special education, English language acquisition, and community substance-abuse prevention. As a prime grant recipient, the town holds a $125,000 Drug-Free Communities Support Program grant (CFDA 93.276) awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on July 1, 2026, running through June 30, 2031, to strengthen community collaboration reducing underage alcohol and youth nicotine use among grades 6-12 in Hudson. The town also received an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from FEMA awarded July 30, 2024, with ultimate completion July 29, 2026. As a sub-recipient, Town Of Hudson flows federal dollars through the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, receiving distributions for Title I basic grants to local educational agencies, special education services, child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and related food service initiatives), English language acquisition, supporting effective instruction, adult education and family literacy, substance-use disorder treatment and evaluation, COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing, and municipal road safety enforcement.

The top five funding agencies account for 76% of recent awards, led by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (16 awards) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (16 awards), with the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (9 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (8 awards), and the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service (3 awards) rounding out the active set. The concentration reflects the town's role as a local education agency and municipal public-health entity receiving formula allocations and competitive grants through state intermediaries rather than direct federal procurement. Activity has grown significantly year over year—one award in 2022 to thirty-two in 2024—with seventeen awards in 2025 and ten awards through August 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all sixty-eight awards total $9.1 million, reflecting the sub-recipient pass-through structure in which the town administers federal education and nutrition programs at the local level rather than competing for large-dollar prime awards.
