Ellenville Housing Authority

Ellenville Housing Authority, a local government housing authority based in Ellenville, New York, receives federal formula grants for public housing operations and capital improvements as a prime grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

The Authority operates exclusively as a HUD grant recipient with no federal contracts or contract vehicles in its footprint. The organization is structured as a U.S. local government entity and receives recurring formula-based allocations under two primary HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, security initiatives, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Capital fund grants finance modernization, infrastructure improvements, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities for the Authority's public housing inventory, with eligible uses defined in the approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

Recent grant awards illustrate the Authority's funding stream. The most recent Public Housing Capital Fund grant, obligated April 1, 2026, carries a $207,685 award with a completion deadline of March 31, 2030. A Public Housing Operating Fund grant obligated January 1, 2026 carries a $118,237 award running through December 31, 2032. Prior-year capital and operating fund grants awarded in May 2025, May 2024, January 2024, February 2023, January 2023, May 2022, and January 2022 remain active with staggered completion dates extending through 2030.

The Authority's customer concentration is singular: 41 of 47 total awards (89%) flow from the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office, with one additional award from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The Authority acts as the prime grant recipient on all HUD work; six sub-awards in the portfolio represent HUD pass-through funding to subrecipients. Activity has remained consistent at approximately two federal grants per year over the past five years, with two awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The combined dollars obligated across the entire forty-seven-award portfolio total $36.8 million, reflecting the formula-based allocation structure that governs HUD public housing grants to eligible authorities serving low-income residents.
