Housing Authority Of The Town Of Phillipsburg

Housing Authority Of The Town Of Phillipsburg, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, is a public housing authority that receives federal grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a prime recipient operating under formula-grant programs. The Authority does not hold federal contracts or compete for procurement awards; its entire federal footprint consists of HUD grants administered through the Public and Indian Housing Office.

The Authority's grant portfolio concentrates exclusively on public housing operations and capital improvements. Recent major awards include a $2,262,675 Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, funding modernization, development, and infrastructure improvements to public housing units serving low-income residents in Phillipsburg. The Authority also holds two Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) grants effective January 1, 2026—one for $712,146 and another for $323,687, both running through December 31, 2032—that provide operating subsidies covering day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. An earlier Capital Fund award dated May 13, 2025, with completion May 12, 2029, funds the same modernization and infrastructure scope. The Authority received a project grant under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative effective June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2027, supporting employment and self-sufficiency initiatives for public housing residents. Eligible capital activities include physical improvements to existing housing inventory, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades, all subject to HUD review and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements compliance.

The Authority's customer base is singular and monolithic: 100 percent of all 62 awards in the source data (combined obligated value $75.5 million) come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority does not subcontract and serves as a 100 percent prime recipient across all grant activity. Four awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face renewal or recompete. Grant activity has remained steady at three to four awards per year over the past five years.
