Bes Homes LLC

Bes Homes LLC, a woman-owned small business and SBA small disadvantaged business based in Newark, New Jersey, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient in permanent supportive housing and affordable rental development, with no prime contract or grant awards in its federal footprint.

Bes Homes is structured as a limited liability partnership organized for nonprofit and for-profit housing development work. The vendor's SBA designations include woman-owned small business certification and DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) status, positioning it for set-aside competition in federal grant sub-award opportunities.

The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of housing development sub-awards under federal grant programs, totaling three awards and $5 million in combined obligation across the past three years. All work is geographically concentrated in Essex County, New Jersey, specifically Newark. The most recent award (June 2025) funded the BES Homes at 10-14 Brinsmaid project, new construction of six permanent supportive housing units for domestic violence victims. Two prior awards funded acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing: the Bes Homes at 65 Winthrop project (December 2023) acquired and substantially rehabilitated a two-family home into two rental units, and the Bes Homes at 63 Winthrop project (July 2022) acquired land and constructed a two-unit structure. The source does not specify the grantor agencies or federal grant programs (CFDA numbers) that funded these sub-awards.

Activity has been consistent at one award per calendar year, though with a gap between 2023 and 2025. The vendor does not hold seats on federal contract IDVs, GWACs, or BPAs and has not competed for federal contracts as a prime or subcontractor. The sub-award structure and housing-development mission suggest partnership with larger housing organizations or nonprofits that hold federal grant authority; the source does not name the prime recipients or parent grant programs.
