Schumer, Gillibrand Announce Over $397 Million In Federal Funding For Public Housing Programs Across New York State

Jun 30, 2017

U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand today announced $397,628,820 for housing authorities across New York State. The funds were allocated through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Public Housing Capital Fund. Schumer and Gillibrand said the funding will help housing authorities develop, finance and modernize their public housing facilities.

“Having a roof over your head is one of life’s basic necessities, so we must do everything we can to help provide those truly in need with a decent and affordable place to live. This federal funding will help support affordable housing initiatives throughout New York that assist needy families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities to find an affordable place to live,” said Senator Schumer.

“We need to invest more federal funds to help more low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities in New York with access to affordable and safe housing,” said Senator Gillibrand. “These resources are vital for vulnerable communities and I will continue to do everything I can in the Senate to make sure that all New Yorkers have the opportunity to reach their full potential.”

HUD’s Office of Capital Improvement administers the Capital Fund program, which provides financial assistance in the form of grants to public housing agencies (PHAs) to carry out capital and management activities; acting as the primary tool to preserve New York’s affordable housing stock. These federal dollars are used to increase a PHA’s ability to maintain the physical infrastructure of developments and improve the safety and security of its residents. 

The following housing agencies will receive federal funding through HUD’s Capital Fund Program:
