Aids Services Coalition

Aids Services Coalition, a nonprofit organization based in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) and related HUD housing assistance initiatives, operating as a primary grant recipient (67% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on awards administered through Mississippi Home Corporation and other prime grantees.

Aids Services Coalition's federal footprint centers exclusively on HUD funding for homelessness and housing stability programs. The organization has received consistent annual Continuum of Care awards since 2021, with the most recent grant of $439,288 awarded on June 1, 2026, running through May 31, 2027, to support permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. As a sub-recipient, the organization participates in a broader portfolio of HUD-administered programs including HOPWA (Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS), Emergency Solutions Grants, HOME-ARP (HOME American Rescue Plan), and ESG-CV (Emergency Solutions Grants—CARES Act), primarily through awards administered by Mississippi Home Corporation. Representative sub-award work includes HOPWA services encompassing tenant-based rental assistance, short-term and medium-term rental assistance, permanent housing placement, facility-based housing, supportive services, and administrative costs, as well as Emergency Solutions Grants funding shelter and homelessness prevention activities.

The vendor's customer concentration is absolute — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for all 39 awards (80% of the total 49-award portfolio) captured in the source, with combined obligations of $14.5 million across all federal sources. Activity has remained modest and variable over the past five years (two awards in 2022, four in 2023, six in 2024, three in 2025, three in 2026), with only one award facing completion in the next twenty-four months and therefore no significant recompete cliff. Aids Services Coalition operates exclusively in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with performance locations confined to that geography, positioning the organization as a local community-based nonprofit focused on housing and homelessness services delivery rather than a federal contractor pursuing competitive procurement across multiple agencies or vehicles.
