About the company
Breakthrough Urban Ministries, Inc., a Chicago-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), providing permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management systems to address homelessness in the Chicago area. The organization acts as a prime recipient on 87% of its recent federal awards, with 33 of 38 total awards in the source data as direct HUD grants; five awards are sub-recipient positions under the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority's Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative, a Community Development Block Grant program, and homelessness-focused initiatives.
Breakthrough Urban Ministries has concentrated, stable grant activity driven entirely by HUD. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 89% of awards (33 grants), with the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance representing the single non-HUD award in the recent portfolio. Combined dollars obligated across all 38 awards total $8.3 million. Recent representative grants include a $272,678 Continuum of Care award issued September 1, 2026, running through August 31, 2027, funding housing acquisition, rehabilitation, rental assistance, and case management; a $316,379 grant from February 1, 2026, running through January 31, 2027; and a $224,967 grant from September 1, 2024, running through August 31, 2025. The Continuum of Care grant program has renewed consistently on a semi-annual cycle — February and September awards — since 2022, with grant performance periods typically spanning twelve months.
Activity has remained flat over the last five years, averaging three awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with two awards recorded in 2026 through the current date (September 2026). Only two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate pipeline. The organization also holds a longer-duration Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants award issued February 17, 2023, extending through August 31, 2031. In its sub-recipient capacity, Breakthrough Urban Ministries participates in violence-intervention initiatives, community development block grant work, and homeless shelter and supportive services programs under state and local grant authorities. The organization's federal footprint is narrowly specialized to homelessness intervention and supportive housing delivery in the Chicago market under recurring HUD Continuum of Care funding cycles.
