Township Of Irvington

Township Of Irvington, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in New Jersey, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula and project grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Department of Justice to fund affordable housing development, community development, lead hazard remediation, emergency preparedness, and public safety programs within its jurisdiction. The Township acts as prime recipient on 94% of its recent federal grants and distributes funds as sub-awards to developers, nonprofits, and community partners to implement eligible activities.

HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the Township's grant portfolio, accounting for 44 awards across three recurring programs. The Township receives annual formula grants under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME, CFDA 14.239), with recent awards including a HOME formula grant of $114,350.97 obligated through September 30, 2034, a CDBG entitlement grant awarded October 1, 2024, with ultimate completion September 30, 2033, and a HOME formula grant awarded December 18, 2024, running through September 30, 2033. These formula grants fund rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low- and moderate-income households. The Township also received a $1.893 million Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) grant from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (CFDA 14.900) awarded November 15, 2024, with performance through November 15, 2028, to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in pre-1960 housing units where children under six are at risk of lead poisoning. FEMA contributes through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, with a project grant awarded September 27, 2025, running through September 26, 2027. The Department of Justice has placed four awards under its Community Oriented Policing Program and three under the Office of Justice Programs. In its sub-recipient role, the Township received public health capacity funding from the New Jersey Department of Health under CDC Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) strategies, including a sub-award for workforce and foundational capabilities work awarded July 1, 2024, and an Infectious Disease Preparedness Generalist position funded through a sub-award awarded November 1, 2023.

The Township's recent grant activity shows three awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Across its 69 total prime and sub awards spanning back to 2004, combined dollars obligated reach $42.5 million. The Township serves eleven distinct federal customer agencies and competes entirely in the grant space rather than federal contracting.
