Lincoln County Housing Authority

Lincoln County Housing Authority, a county-level housing authority based in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, funding public housing capital improvements, development, modernization, and operating expenses across its portfolio.

Lincoln County Housing Authority is a U.S. government entity classified as a local government housing authority. It does not compete for federal contracts; its sole federal footprint consists of formula grants flowing from HUD under two primary programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The authority receives no contractor or commercial vendor work — it is a direct grant recipient performing public housing administration and physical plant management for its housing portfolio.

The authority's federal grant activity is steady but modest in dollar scale. Over the past five years, Lincoln County Housing Authority has received two awards annually, with total obligated dollars across all thirty-seven awards in the source data reaching $993 thousand. All thirty-seven awards are prime grants; the authority holds no sub-grant awards. Activity is concentrated exclusively with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which accounts for 100% of its federal funding stream. Recent named grants include a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant awarded January 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2032; a Public Housing Capital Fund grant awarded May 13, 2025, with completion scheduled for May 12, 2029; and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant awarded January 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2031. Earlier awards under the same programs date to 2022, with completion dates spanning 2026 through 2030. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing the authority's near-term recompete window. Grant funds are obligated toward day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service — the standard suite of public housing operations prescribed under the Housing Act of 1937 and implementing regulations.

Lincoln County Housing Authority is not a vendor of services or goods to the federal government and does not compete on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs. It operates as a local government recipient of direct federal housing appropriations and is not relevant for federal contractor partnering, subcontracting, or teaming research.
