About Caminar
Caminar, doing business as Caminar For Mental Health, is a San Mateo, California-based nonprofit organization that operates as a federal grant recipient under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), administering housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families. The organization is entirely a prime recipient — 96% of its federal awards are direct grants rather than sub-awards — and operates exclusively within the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care framework, which accounts for 100% of its 73 active awards and nearly all of its $5 million in combined obligated federal dollars.
Caminar's service delivery portfolio centers on permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems. Representative recent awards include a $108,042 CoC Project Grant awarded October 1, 2025 (performance through September 30, 2026) funding case management, rental assistance, housing counseling, and outreach in San Mateo; a $204,794 CoC award dated September 1, 2024 (performance through August 31, 2025) supporting identical service categories; and multiple successive CoC renewals stretching back to 2022, each awarded in May, July, September, and October cycles with twelve-month or sixteen-month performance periods. All place of performance is in San Mateo, California.
The source identifies three federal agencies in Caminar's footprint: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (73 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (1 award), and one sub-award position under a prime grantee, the Community Action Partnership of Solano JPA, on a June 2025 CoC award serving Vallejo/Solano County coordinated entry systems. Caminar also appears as a sub-recipient on a California Department of Health Care Services grant (Sub Award, September 1, 2022, substantive program described as "SABG/MHBG").
Award activity has remained steady across the past five years — five awards per year in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — with only one award in the first half of 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure. Caminar's federal footprint is narrow and specialized: a single-agency, single-program recipient operating within HUD's homelessness-prevention and housing-stability infrastructure.
