Viroqua Housing Authority

Viroqua Housing Authority is a U.S. local government entity and public housing authority based in Viroqua, Wisconsin, receiving federal formula grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to fund public housing modernization, capital improvements, operations, and maintenance serving low-income residents in its jurisdiction.

Viroqua Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient—not as a federal contractor—receiving 100% of its federal funding (41 awards totaling $7 million obligated) through HUD formula grant programs rather than competitive procurements. The authority's federal award footprint consists entirely of prime recipient grants under two recurring HUD programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund. The Capital Fund grants support capital and management activities including public housing modernization, development, infrastructure improvements, emergency repairs, and energy efficiency upgrades in accordance with 24 CFR Part 905, funded through formula allocation rather than competitive application. The Operating Fund grants provide operating subsidies for day-to-day operational expenses, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.

All 41 awards in the portfolio are from a single federal customer—the HUD Public and Indian Housing Office—reflecting the structure of federal public housing funding, in which allocations flow directly to individual housing authorities through formula-based mechanisms. Activity is consistent at two awards per year across the 2022–2026 period. Representative recent awards include a $344,034 Capital Fund formula grant dated April 1, 2026, extending through March 31, 2030; an Operating Fund formula grant dated January 1, 2026, running through December 31, 2032; and a Capital Fund grant dated May 13, 2025, completing May 12, 2029. Four awards hold ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal action during that window.

Viroqua Housing Authority is not a vendor in the federal contracting market and does not compete for federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor. The organization's federal relationships are confined to direct grant receipt for public housing administration. Federal contractors seeking partnerships with housing authorities or involvement in public housing capital or operating programs would engage Viroqua Housing Authority as a property owner and grant-administering entity, not as a procurement vehicle or teaming partner.
