Winnebago County Housing Authority

Winnebago County Housing Authority, a U.S. local government entity and county housing authority headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is a federal grant recipient (100% of recent awards are prime grants) administering public housing operations and resident self-sufficiency programs funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Winnebago County Housing Authority operates exclusively as a grant recipient under three core HUD programs. The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports modernization, development, management improvements, and infrastructure upgrades across the Authority's public housing inventory under formula grant awards issued on a multi-year cycle; the most recent award of $261,702, issued April 1, 2026, funds capital and management activities through March 31, 2030, with prior awards completing in 2028 and 2029. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA unspecified in source but embedded in award series) provides operating subsidies for day-to-day maintenance, management, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and debt service across approximately 902,436 households nationwide; Winnebago County holds operating-fund formula grants active through 2030 and 2031. The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA unspecified) funds salaries and fringe benefits for FSS coordinators who implement employment and self-sufficiency services for public housing residents and Housing Choice Voucher participants; the Authority has received project grants in calendar-year cycles, with the most recent award issued January 1, 2026, completing December 31, 2026.

The Authority's customer footprint concentrates entirely with HUD. The Public and Indian Housing Office accounts for 54 of 55 awards; a single award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner comprises the remainder. Over the past five years, the Authority has received three awards annually on average, with combined dollars obligated across all 55 awards totaling $7.5 million. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Authority operates as a prime grant recipient exclusively — no subcontractor or sub-recipient roles appear in the source data. All work is performed in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, supporting the Authority's public housing resident base and compliance with 24 CFR Part 905 and the Uniform Administrative Requirements in 2 CFR 200.
