Sauk County Housing Authority

Sauk County Housing Authority, a U.S. county government entity headquartered in Baraboo, Wisconsin, is a federal grant recipient that administers public housing operations and capital improvements funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office. The Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient of federal formula grants; it holds no federal contracts and engages in no subcontracting relationships.

Sauk County Housing Authority receives recurring formula grants under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not specified in source; provides day-to-day operational, maintenance, management, and administrative expenses for public housing) and the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872; funds modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, and management enhancements). Recent grants include a $127,363 Public Housing Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2030), a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026 (completion December 31, 2032), a Public Housing Capital Fund award effective May 13, 2025 (completion May 12, 2029), and a Public Housing Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2025 (completion December 31, 2031). Capital Fund grants carry five-year implementation windows and support eligible activities defined in 24 CFR Part 905, including acquisition and construction of public housing units, modernization of existing stock, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements. Operating Fund grants support routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, and debt service across the Authority's portfolio serving low-income residents in Sauk County.

The Authority's federal footprint is concentrated entirely with HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which has issued all 39 awards in the source data. Combined dollars obligated across the award portfolio total $2.8 million. Activity runs at roughly two awards per year on a consistent schedule over the past five years (2022 through 2026). Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete timing. All grants comply with OMB Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) audit and cost documentation requirements and must maintain accurate public housing inventory records per 24 CFR Part 905.
