Tomah Public Housing Authority

Tomah Public Housing Authority is a U.S. local government housing authority based in Tomah, Wisconsin that receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to administer public housing operations and capital improvements—acting as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor. The authority operates as a non-competitive entity eligible for federal housing assistance under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) and Public Housing Capital Fund programs administered by HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Tomah Public Housing Authority's federal grant footprint consists entirely of HUD housing authority formula grants supporting routine operations, maintenance, and capital development of its public housing inventory. The authority received a $4.985 million Public Housing Operating Fund grant (awarded January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032) to fund day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, management and operations, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation. Operating funds support adequate operational capacity and preserve the physical integrity of the authority's public housing stock while serving vulnerable populations, including elderly residents and families with children. The authority also holds a Public Housing Capital Fund grant (awarded May 13, 2025, through May 12, 2029) for public housing modernization, development, and management improvements under 24 CFR Part 905, funded only for eligible activities specified in an approved five-year action plan or HUD-approved emergency or disaster-related work.

All 38 awards in the source data are prime grant awards from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office, reflecting 100% concentration with a single federal customer. The authority has received consistent annual grant awards across the last five years (two awards per year from 2022 through 2026), with a combined $7 million in obligated dollars across all awards in the source data. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete cycles aligned with HUD's annual and multi-year grant allocation calendars. The authority's grant activity represents the core federal entitlement funding mechanism for public housing authorities nationally—approximately 2,770 housing authorities serve nearly one million units across all fifty states and territories under the Capital Fund Program alone, with approximately 6,000 authorities sharing $5 billion in annual Operating Fund allocations to serve 1.59 million public housing residents.
