Applied Behavioral Rehabilitation Institute Inc.

Applied Behavioral Rehabilitation Institute Inc., doing business as A B R I, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on housing stability and employment services for homeless individuals and homeless veterans. The organization receives recurring project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), with no federal contract prime or subcontractor footprint.

A B R I delivers comprehensive support services across permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, vocational training, and employment placement. The vendor's capability profile centers on addressing homelessness through the HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) program (CFDA 14.267) and VA per diem and capital funding for transitional housing and case management serving homeless veterans. Representative recent grant work includes a $123,476 CoC project grant from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development covering July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 for permanent and transitional housing and supportive services in the Bridgeport area; a $108,044 CoC award from the same grantor for July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025; and a $25,000 project grant from the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024) supporting the "Training for Success" vocational and educational training program targeting 40 homeless veterans in greater Bridgeport for job search assistance, computer skills training, short-term educational placement, and employment placement at wages of at least $18 per hour.

Customer concentration is narrow and stable. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 19 of 36 awards; the VA's Veterans Health Administration and subordinate offices account for 15 awards combined. The Department of Labor accounts for one award. Across its full award portfolio, A B R I has received $170,000 in combined potential value but obligated $20.3 million in actual dollars — the disparity reflects grant-award mechanics where potential value is listed as nominal pending final scope confirmation, while obligated funds represent real cash deployed. Activity is episodic: one award in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026. One award (an HUD Economic Development Initiative grant dated August 13, 2024, running through August 31, 2032) will complete outside the next twenty-four months; the remaining awards in the active portfolio are nearing completion. The organization does not engage in federal contracting or subcontracting; all federal engagement flows through grant recipiency.
