Boscobel Housing Authority

Boscobel Housing Authority, a municipal local government housing authority based in Boscobel, Wisconsin, is a federal grant recipient that receives formula-based operating and capital-improvement funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to maintain and modernize public housing serving low-income residents in its service area.

Boscobel Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontract exposure. All 38 awards in the source data span federal grant programs administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office under two primary vehicles: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA program line covering day-to-day operational expenses, maintenance, anti-crime and anti-drug activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872, covering modernization, development, construction, acquisition of additional housing units, and physical improvements to existing structures and infrastructure). Both are formula grants calculated annually using established allocation formulas tied to unit inventory, building age, and construction costs rather than competitive applications. The recipient must maintain accurate inventory data in HUD's Information Management System, comply with federal cost principles under 2 CFR 200, and spend funds only on eligible activities specified in 24 CFR 905.200 or HUD-approved emergency or disaster-related work.

Recent Capital Fund awards include a $140,532 allocation effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a grant dated May 13, 2025 with completion deadline May 12, 2029; and a prior grant dated May 6, 2024 with completion deadline May 5, 2028. Operating Fund awards run on calendar-year cycles: the most recent operating fund award commenced January 1, 2026 with completion deadline December 31, 2032, while a prior operating fund award ran from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. Activity is consistent at two awards per year over the last five years. Four awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for the authority's next funding cycle. The authority has no federal contractors or subcontractors in its supply chain — it is itself the end recipient and administrator of the housing units and services funded by these grants.
