Lady Smith Housing Authority

Lady Smith Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, is a recipient of federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under formula-based public housing programs. The Housing Authority acts as a prime recipient for all of its federal awards; it does not compete for federal contracts and has no federal contract prime or subcontractor relationships.

Lady Smith Housing Authority receives recurring formula grants under two primary HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital and management funding for public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and financing activities including debt service payments. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. Recent awards include a $120,617 Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a prior Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. All funding activities are required to align with the Housing Authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan and comply with 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements).

The Housing Authority's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for all 41 awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to April 2026. Activity has remained consistent at two awards per year over the past five years, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling three million dollars. Two awards are reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the potential recompete exposure in that window. The Housing Authority manages public housing for low-income residents in the Ladysmith area, including elderly residents and families with children, as part of HUD's broader mission serving approximately 2,770 public housing agencies managing nearly one million housing units nationwide.
