Monroe City Housing Authority

Monroe City Housing Authority, a division of the City of Monroe, Wisconsin, is a public housing authority that receives federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to operate and maintain affordable public housing inventory serving low-income residents, elderly populations, and families with children.

Monroe City Housing Authority operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, with no contract vehicle participation or federal contracting activity. The authority is a U.S. government entity and subordinate division of the City of Monroe; it does not hold SBA certifications or compete in set-aside categories.

The authority's federal funding footprint is entirely HUD-sourced and derives from two recurring formula grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.871, also referenced as the Public Housing Operating Fund program under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937) provides annual operating subsidies to cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. Recent operating fund awards include a formula grant running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032, and a prior-year award running January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2031. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital financing for housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements as specified in 24 CFR Part 905. Representative capital fund awards include a $214,349 formula grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a prior award running May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029; and awards running through May 5, 2028 and February 16, 2027. All activities must align with the authority's HUD-approved 5-Year Action Plan or receive HUD approval for emergency work, and the authority remains subject to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and regular HUD auditing.

Monroe City Housing Authority receives two formula grants per year on a consistent cycle. Across 39 total awards in the source data spanning from 2006 to April 2026, the authority has obligated $3.6 million and served a single customer agency — HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office — accounting for 100% of award activity. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete or renewal cycles under the two recurring formula programs. The authority's operational scope is confined to local public housing administration and does not extend to contracting, subcontracting, or teaming arrangements with federal contractors.
