Armstrong County Community Action Agency

Armstrong County Community Action Of Pennsylvania, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on homelessness services, housing, and poverty-related assistance programs. The organization does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space, with 77% of recent awards as a prime recipient and 23% as a sub-recipient under state pass-through grantees.

Armstrong County Community Action Of Pennsylvania's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in a single program and agency. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 54 of the organization's 73 recent awards, representing an overwhelming concentration in the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). Under the CoC program, the organization delivers permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services including case management, and Homeless Management Information Systems operations across Armstrong County. Recent prime CoC grants include awards of $171,263 (September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027), $175,742 (August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027), and $117,809 (November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026). Beyond HUD, the organization holds a secondary position with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (12 awards), serving as both prime recipient and sub-recipient on weatherization assistance, nutrition assistance, and case management programs. In its sub-recipient role, Armstrong County Community Action Of Pennsylvania receives awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, flowing funds for weatherization assistance programs that increase home energy efficiency and heating emergency response.

Activity has declined moderately from a peak of nine awards in 2023 to six awards in 2026, with three awards reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The organization's combined obligation across all recent federal awards stands at $40.3 million, anchored almost entirely by the recurring annual CoC grants from HUD. All work is performed at the organization's headquarters in Kittanning, Pennsylvania.
