North Central Community Action Program Inc.

North Central Community Action Program Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering community action and homelessness-prevention services through the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Health and Human Services. The organization splits its footprint evenly between prime grant awards (48% of recent work) and sub-recipient roles under state pass-through grants (52%), with no federal contract vehicles or prime contract awards in the source record.

The vendor's primary customer concentration tracks with HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 22 of 41 awards in the source (covering 82% of award count), anchored by recurring annual Project Grants under CFDA 14.267. Representative CoC awards include a $537,422 grant effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 for permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information System operations; a $199,211 grant for the same services covering July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025; and multi-year CoC funding dating back to at least 2022. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families appears in 11 awards, representing the second-largest customer. The Department of Energy, the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service, and the Corporation for National and Community Service round out the active set. Five distinct customer agencies are served across the portfolio.

In its sub-recipient role, North Central Community Action Program Inc. receives funding through state pass-through grants, primarily from the State of Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (CSBG — Community Services Block Grants) and the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration (BIL AIDS — Broadband Infrastructure Law Assistance for Disconnected and Underserved Communities, LIHEAP 24 AIDS — Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, and DOE AIDS). Recent sub-awards cluster in 2024 through 2026, with multiple CSBG contracts and energy-assistance awards flowing annually. The organization also receives direct sub-awards with descriptions mentioning NCCAP or North Central Community Action Program Inc. without named prime grantees in the source label.

Activity has been uneven: seven awards in 2022, a drop to three in 2023, ten in 2024, seven in 2025, and three year-to-date in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all 50 awards total $15.2 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete cliff exposure in that window. The organization's federal footprint centers on direct service delivery — housing placement, case management, rental assistance, energy assistance, and community service operations — rather than on administrative contracting or consulting roles.
