The Department of Agriculture awarded $28,000 to a single New Jersey-based organization during the week of July 26 through August 1, 2026, marking modest federal activity in the state as summer progressed.

Habitat for Humanity received the sole federal award tracked during this seven-day period, securing a $28,000 grant from the Department of Agriculture. The grant represents the agency's sole obligated commitment in New Jersey for the reporting week, underscoring relatively light federal spending activity across the state during this timeframe.

Just one contractor captured federal resources in New Jersey this week. Habitat for Humanity's single award of $28,000 accounted for 100 percent of all tracked federal obligations in the state, making the nonprofit the dominant recipient during the period.

The Department of Agriculture was the sole federal agency dispensing funds in New Jersey during the reporting week. The department's $28,000 grant to Habitat for Humanity represents its complete obligated spending in the state for July 26 through August 1.

Federal grant activity dominated the spending pattern, with grants accounting for all $28,000 in obligations. The single-award structure suggests either a concentrated funding cycle or a slower period of federal disbursements in New Jersey compared to other states and weeks.

The relatively modest spending total and narrow concentration among recipients reflects typical summer spending patterns, when federal agencies and contractors often operate with reduced staffing. Additional federal activity in New Jersey likely resumed following the conclusion of this reporting week.
