Oshkosh Housing Authority

Oshkosh Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, receives formula grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain its public housing portfolio. The Authority acts exclusively as a grant recipient (100% of awards) with no federal contracting activity or subcontracting engagements; the Authority receives funding to administer its own housing stock rather than to provide services or goods to federal agencies.

The Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two primary programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in award documents, but referenced under the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, Section 9) provides annual operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, administrative costs, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service. The Authority has received multiple operating-fund grants since 2022, with awards issued on January 1 cycles and completion dates spanning 2026 through 2032; the most recent operating-fund awards (January 1, 2026, completing December 31, 2032) represent recurring annual appropriations. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides capital and management funding for modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and lead-based paint hazard reduction. The Authority received a $893,868 capital-fund award on April 1, 2026, running through March 31, 2030, and an earlier capital-fund award on May 6, 2024, completing May 5, 2028. A competitive grant for housing-related hazards and lead-based paint evaluation and remediation (awarded September 17, 2024, completing September 16, 2028) supplements capital-fund work.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 113 of 114 total awards (99% of the footprint), with a single outlier award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner. The Authority's total obligated dollars across all awards reach $24 million, reflecting the nature of formula-grant allocations to a single mid-sized local housing authority. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (2022–2026), averaging 6–9 awards annually, with eighteen awards holding ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to renewal or reallocation cycles. The Authority operates no parent contract vehicles, maintains no teaming relationships, and competes in no competitive contracting programs; all funding flows through the statutory formula-grant mechanisms under which HUD allocates capital and operating resources to public housing agencies nationwide.
