Catholic Charities Of The Diocese Of Rockville Centre

Catholic Charities Of The Diocese Of Rockville Centre, doing business as Catholic Charities, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Hicksville, New York, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient in homeless services, refugee resettlement, and human services programs. The organization operates almost exclusively on the federal grant side — 43 prime grant awards and 106 sub-grant awards across its recent footprint — rather than through federal contracts. Catholic Charities does not hold a federal contract vehicle and competes in full-and-open grant competitions without set-aside designations.

Catholic Charities' primary capability is comprehensive homelessness assistance and permanent supportive housing delivery under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The organization received a $1,627,860 CoC project grant from HUD for the period February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027, delivering permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) administration in Hicksville, New York. Antecedent CoC awards span a recurring annual cycle with awards issued in February and December, demonstrating sustained HUD funding. Beyond homelessness, Catholic Charities operates as a sub-recipient on refugee resettlement and refugee services programs funded through the Department of State and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops; reception and placement programs, voluntary agencies matching grants, and alternative placement assistance (APA) programs appear across dozens of monthly sub-award tranches from UCCB between 2023 and 2025. Catholic Charities also holds sub-grant awards from the New York State Department of Health for WIC Local Agency administration (contract LA #311) and received FEMA disaster-assistance sub-grant funding in 2023.

Customer concentration is heavily tilted toward social services and humanitarian assistance agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families leads with 52 awards (35% of the total portfolio), HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development follows with 42 awards (28%), and the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration accounts for 40 awards (27%). Together these three agencies represent 99% of recent awards. Dollar concentration tracks award count: the combined $27.5 million obligated across all 149 awards (prime and sub) is predominantly concentrated in HUD's CoC program and refugee services administered through State and UCCB. Activity has accelerated sharply — two awards in 2022, nine in 2023, seventy-four in 2024, and twenty-four in 2025 — driven by the monthly cycle of UCCB sub-grant tranches. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

Catholic Charities' sub-award footprint is dominated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as the prime grantee across immigration, refugee, and humanitarian resettlement programs spanning reception and placement, preferred communities, match grants, and APA initiatives. The organization also subcontracts under New York State Department of Health for WIC administration and received a single sub-contract award from Acacia Center For Justice for FY23 legal orientation services under the Legal Orientation Program (LOP/LOPC) in December 2024. The vendor's federal footprint is mission-driven and grant-dependent, with no presence on contract IDVs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicle platforms characteristic of federal contractors; accordingly, Catholic Charities operates outside the federal contracting competitive space and functions as a social-services delivery partner within established grant frameworks.
