Oneida Nation

Oneida Nation, doing business as Oneida Housing Authority, is a federally recognized tribal government entity based in Oneida, Wisconsin, that receives formula and project grants from federal agencies to deliver educational programs, emergency preparedness services, and social support to the Oneida Nation community. The entity operates exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards are prime grants, with no subcontracting activity); it holds no federal contract vehicles and issues no contract prime awards.

Oneida Housing Authority's federal footprint centers on K-12 educational funding through the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The entity has received six Indian Education Formula Grants (CFDA 84.060) spanning from July 2022 through June 2027, with annual awards ranging from $104,688 to $122,319, each funding culturally tailored academic instruction, professional development for educators, and targeted student support services for American Indian and Alaska Native students in the Hobart, Wisconsin service area. Beyond education, Oneida Housing Authority holds a $1,744,941 Project Grant from FEMA under the Tribal Homeland Security Grant Program (CFDA 97.067), awarded September 1, 2024 and running through August 31, 2027, which funds emergency planning, training, equipment acquisition, critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity enhancements, and public outreach campaigns.

Across 31 total awards dating back to 2003, the top five funding agencies account for 94% of award count. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominates the portfolio (19 awards), followed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (4 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (2 awards), the Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office (2 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (2 awards). Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $18.1 million. Activity has been sparse in recent years — one award annually in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, with two awards in 2024 — and only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months. Oneida Housing Authority is a child entity within the Oneida Nation organizational structure, with Oneida Nation (Bingo & Casino) identified as the parent organization that holds federal contract vehicles and prime awardee status.
