City Of Housing Authority Of

City Of Housing Authority Of, a not-for-profit public housing authority based in La Crosse, Wisconsin, receives formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund capital improvements and day-to-day operations of its public housing portfolio serving low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities.

The organization operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under two HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). All fifty-three awards in the source data are prime grants; the authority does not subcontract federal grant work. Its sole customer across the entire footprint is HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, which distributes formula-based allocations to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationwide. Over the past five years, the authority has received a steady cadence of three awards per year, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $37.8 million since 2006.

Recent capital funding includes a $1.953 million Public Housing Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2030, supporting modernization, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and development activities in the housing authority's inventory. Operating fund grants total $211,908 (awarded January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2032) and $210,036 (awarded January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2032), funding property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security initiatives, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative expenses. Capital and operating grants both require compliance with 24 CFR Part 905 and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements.

The authority maintains three awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, positioning a recompete window for replacement formula allocations. Activity has remained consistent at three awards per year across 2022–2026, with no growth or decline trajectory evident in recent years.
