Ashland Housing Authority

Ashland Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Ashland, Wisconsin, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing for low-income residents. The Authority acts exclusively as a prime recipient (100% of recent awards) under two core HUD programs and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

Ashland Housing Authority's entire federal footprint consists of formula grants under two HUD programs, both administered by the Public and Indian Housing Office. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.873) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent operating-fund grants run from January 2022 through December 2032, with awards dated January 2022, January 2023, January 2024, and January 2025. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades to the Authority's public housing inventory. Capital-fund awards in the source include a $437,862 formula grant dated April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030; an award dated May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029; an award dated May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028; and an award dated February 17, 2023, completing February 16, 2027. All activities must comply with Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 CFR 200) and conform to eligible activities outlined in 24 CFR Part 905, with expenditures limited to activities specified in an approved 5-year action plan or approved by HUD for emergency or disaster-related work.

The Authority has received 59 federal awards across the past five years at a consistent clip of three awards annually, with the most recent award dated April 1, 2026. Combined obligations total $11 million. All customer concentration sits with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, representing 100% of award volume. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority does not subcontract on federal work and maintains no prime contractor relationships; its role is exclusively that of a direct recipient of formula grant funding to administer its local public housing portfolio.
