Housing Authority Of Trempealeau County

Housing Authority Of Trempealeau County, doing business as Trempealeau County Homes, is a Wisconsin county housing authority that receives federal 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 in Trempealeau County. The organization is a U.S. government entity structured as a county housing authority, operating as a prime recipient (100% of awards) exclusively under HUD Public and Indian Housing formula grant programs, with no federal contract work.

Trempealeau County Homes' federal activity centers entirely on two HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA withheld) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872). Operating Fund awards support day-to-day operational expenses including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service across the authority's public housing portfolio. Capital Fund awards finance housing modernization, development, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency improvements to public housing units serving the county's low-income population. Representative recent awards include a $161,827 Capital Fund formula grant (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030), an Operating Fund award running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a Capital Fund award from May 13, 2025 with ultimate completion May 12, 2029. All awards are distributed under HUD's formula allocation methodology rather than through competitive application; the authority's grant amounts are calculated based on unit inventory, building age, and construction costs within the national Public Housing Agencies portfolio serving approximately 2.77 million units across all 50 states and territories.

Trempealeau County Homes has received 44 federal awards with combined obligated value of $3.2 million and an average annual funding level of approximately $640 thousand over the most recent five-year cycle (2022–2026). Activity has remained consistent at roughly two to four awards per year. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office is the sole customer agency, accounting for 100% of the award portfolio. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The authority does not function as a federal contractor or subcontractor; its role is exclusive to HUD grant program recipient status for public housing operations and capital improvements in Trempealeau County.
