Town Of Wilna Housing Authority

Town Of Wilna Housing Authority, doing business as Long Falls Apartments, is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Wilna, New York that receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office as a prime recipient. The authority does not hold federal contracts or compete for procurement; all federal activity consists of HUD formula grants supporting public housing operations and capital improvements at the Long Falls Apartments portfolio in Carthage, New York.

The authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated in two HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in award details) provides formula-based operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supplies formula grants for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure work as specified in the authority's approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency work. Both programs are formula-allocated to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide based on characteristics of the authority's public housing inventory — unit counts, building age, construction costs — rather than through competitive application. Recent representative awards include a $472,204 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, for capital and management activities including infrastructure improvements and energy efficiency upgrades; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund award dated May 6, 2024, running through May 5, 2028.

The authority has received forty-three federal awards since 2006, all from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with combined dollars obligated of $7.1 million. Activity has remained consistent at two to three awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026), with two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The authority operates as a prime recipient with no subcontractor or sub-recipient relationships in the federal footprint.
