Sparta Housing Authority

Sparta Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity based in Sparta, Wisconsin, receives federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office for public housing capital improvements and operating subsidies serving low-income residents. The authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient — not a federal contractor — and has no role as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or consortium member on federal procurements.

Sparta Housing Authority's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD formula grants under two programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) provides formula-based allocations for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency enhancements, and emergency repairs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) funds day-to-day operating and maintenance expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, resident supportive services, energy costs, insurance, and debt service. Recent representative awards include a $125,422 Capital Fund grant awarded April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030; a Public Housing Operating Fund grant dated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund grant dated May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2029. All grants require compliance with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and annual HUD audits.

Sparta Housing Authority is the sole customer agency across all forty awards in the portfolio, representing 100% of award count and combined obligated dollars of $3.2 million spanning twenty years. Activity has held steady at two awards per year across 2022–2026. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, marking routine recompete cycles consistent with the three- to seven-year funding periods characteristic of HUD's Public and Indian Housing formula grant cycles. The authority does not subcontract or partner on federal awards; it operates as the direct recipient of formula allocations determined by inventory characteristics such as unit count, building age, and construction costs rather than through competitive procurement or other transaction vehicles.
