About the company
Alternatives, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Raritan, New Jersey, is a prime recipient of federal project grants under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), delivering homelessness intervention and housing services. The organization operates exclusively as a grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontract activity; all 86 awards in the source data are HUD project grants.
Alternatives, Inc. provides comprehensive community-based homelessness services across five eligible Continuum of Care program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Concrete services include rental assistance, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment referrals, job training, housing relocation services, and stabilization support. Recent awards include a $113,964 project grant for August 2025 through July 2026 and a $102,880 project grant for August 2024 through July 2025, both from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Customer concentration is extreme: HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 85 of 86 awards (100% coverage by count). A single award from the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Community Facilities rounds out the customer base. All awards are prime recipient grants; Alternatives, Inc. receives no federal contracts and engages in no subcontracting relationships.
Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years — six awards in 2022, then three awards per year in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with two awards recorded in 2026 through mid-July. The combined dollars obligated across the entire 86-award portfolio totals $5 million, indicating award sizes in the $58 thousand range on average. Three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the organization's near-term recompete exposure. The organization's first award in the source data dates to July 2005, reflecting sustained, long-term participation in HUD's homelessness program since at least that point.
