The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service awarded Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat For Humanity Inc. $110,613 under the Rural Housing Preservation Grants program (CFDA 10.433) on October 30, 2026, to support housing repair and rehabilitation services for very low- and low-income rural residents in Wisconsin's Fox Cities area. The award obligates $110,613 with a completion deadline of July 30, 2027.

Grant recipients must demonstrate administrative capacity in housing rehabilitation, minimize administrative costs to no more than 20 percent of grant funds, and serve areas with concentrations of substandard housing.
