Marinette Housing Auth

Marinette Housing Auth, a tax-exempt nonprofit public housing agency headquartered in Marinette, Wisconsin, is a recipient of federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office, operating exclusively as a prime recipient with no subcontract activity across its federal portfolio.

The organization serves as a Public Housing Agency (PHA) administering federal funding for public housing operations and capital improvements in the Marinette area under two primary HUD grant programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA program, formula grant structure) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872, formula grant structure). Operating Fund grants support day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service across Marinette's public housing inventory. Capital Fund grants support public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, emergency repairs, energy efficiency work, and acquisition or construction of additional public housing units, all in accordance with the housing authority's approved 5-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency activities under 24 CFR Part 905. Recent awards include a $166,014 Public Housing Capital Fund formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund formula grant from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; a Capital Fund award from May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029; and an Operating Fund award from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031.

Marinette's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office across 39 total awards since 2006, with obligated dollars totaling $3.6 million. Activity has remained flat at two awards per year across the most recent five fiscal years (2022–2026). Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete.
