Allegany County Human Resources Development Commission, Inc.

Allegany County Human Resources Development Commission, Inc., operating as Allegany County Human Resources, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Cumberland, Maryland, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for homelessness services, senior nutrition programs, and workforce development initiatives. The organization does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with 91% of its 128 recent awards held as prime recipient rather than sub-recipient.

The organization's federal footprint centers on three core capability areas. Continuum of Care (CoC) homelessness programs dominate the prime recipient portfolio — permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (60 awards). The organization also operates as a recipient under the Head Start and Early Head Start program (Administration for Children and Families) and holds grants for housing counseling assistance and older-adult nutrition services through HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living. In its sub-recipient role, the organization delivers congregate meals, home-delivered meals, caregiver support services, and nutrition services through sub-awards from the Maryland Department of Aging, which acts as the prime grant recipient for federal aging programs.

Customer concentration is acute and single-agency dominant. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 60 of the 128 awards (47% of the portfolio), with additional HUD exposure through the Federal Housing Commissioner (5 awards). The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 holds 28 awards carrying $1.4 million in combined potential value. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living holds 11 awards. The top five customers account for 86% of award count. The organization holds five Veterans Affairs basic ordering agreements active in the VA24514A0036, VA24514A0070, VA245BO0009, and related vehicles, with task orders valued in the tens of thousands. Activity is modest and variable — five awards in 2022, two in 2023, six in 2024, four in 2025, and eight in 2026 — with only two awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The organization's combined obligated dollars ($64.3 million) substantially exceed combined potential value ($1.4 million), indicating mature, ongoing grant relationships where funds have been drawn down over multiple years of performance.
