Whpc-Northwinds-Manitowc, LLC

Whpc-Northwinds-Manitowc, LLC, a for-profit corporate entity based in Madison, Wisconsin, serves as a federal grant recipient funding Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program coordinator positions under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office (CFDA 14.879). The vendor holds three consecutive annual FSS Project Grants as a prime recipient, with no federal contract prime or subcontractor activity in the source data.

Whpc-Northwinds-Manitowc operates exclusively under HUD's FSS grant program, which funds salary and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators serving public housing residents, Housing Choice Voucher holders, and Project-Based Rental Assistance participants. The vendor received FSS grants for calendar years 2024 ($208 thousand combined across all three awards), 2025, and 2026, with ultimate completion dates aligned to the grant calendar year. Each award requires the recipient to hire and retain full-time equivalent FSS program coordinators and maintain minimum participating-family enrollment thresholds—at least 25 families for the first coordinator position, increasing by 50 families for each additional funded position. Coordinator responsibilities include enrolling and maintaining families in the program, preparing individual training and services plans, and building partnerships with employers and community service providers to support participant employment and wage improvement over five to seven years of program participation.

Customer concentration is complete: 100% of the vendor's three awards fund HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office programs, with no diversification across other federal agencies. Activity remains flat at one award per year from 2024 through 2026. One award (the 2026 grant, completion date December 31, 2026) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete renewal pressure under HUD's statutory prioritization of renewal applicants over new awards.
