City Of Baraboo Community Development Authority

City Of Baraboo Community Development Authority, doing business as Baraboo CDA, is a U.S. local government entity and community development corporation based in Baraboo, Wisconsin that receives federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and maintain public housing for low-income residents. The entity functions as a grant recipient rather than a contractor, with 96% of its federal footprint concentrated in prime grant awards from HUD.

Baraboo CDA's entire federal activity flows through two HUD grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA not separately specified; award dates January 1, 2025, ultimate completion December 31, 2031) provides annual operating subsidies to fund day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative costs associated with public housing operations. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872; most recent award May 13, 2025, ultimate completion May 12, 2029) supplies capital grants for public housing modernization, development, management improvements, unit renovations, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and infrastructure improvements to Baraboo CDA's housing stock. The entity received a $137,759 Capital Fund award effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, designated for capital and management activities specified in an approved 5-Year Action Plan or HUD-approved emergency work.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Public and Indian Housing Office represents 100% of awards (45 prime grant awards across the source data period spanning from 2022 through 2026). Total obligated dollars across all awards sum to $8.3 million. Baraboo CDA has received formula grants consistently over the past five years—four awards in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and four in 2026—with award patterns aligning to HUD's annual and multi-year grant cycles. Two sub-awards to Driftless Logs Baraboo CDA, both dated May 27, 2026, comprise 4% of the award footprint. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The entity holds no federal contracts, contract vehicles, or contract IDVs; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based, making it a non-competitor in federal procurement vehicles used by contractors.
