Cdbg Operations Corp

Cdbg Operations Corp, through its Division Cdbg Operations Corporation, is a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation based in Illinois that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) to deliver housing and supportive services addressing homelessness and housing instability. The organization operates entirely in the grant space — no federal contracts — and holds 74% of its recent awards as prime recipient grants, with the remainder as sub-recipient awards under emergency solutions and related CoC programs.

HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development is the sole meaningful customer, accounting for 50 of 57 prime grants and dominating the agency relationship across the organization's federal footprint. A secondary HUD stream through the Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner contributes 7 awards. Combined, HUD accounts for 74% of all awards in the source data spanning prime and sub positions.

Cdbg Operations Corp delivers permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) implementation across service geographies in East St. Louis and Centreville, Illinois. Representative prime grant recipients include a $366,866 CoC award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, supporting comprehensive housing and supportive services in the East St. Louis area; a $148,086 CoC award from December 1, 2025, through November 30, 2026; and a $124,202 CoC award from December 1, 2024, through November 30, 2025, serving the Centreville area. Eligible services under these grants include case management, rental assistance, housing relocation and stabilization services, and temporary housing support. The organization also acts as a sub-recipient, passing through Emergency Solutions Program funds to local partners across multiple award tranches documented between August 2023 and August 2024.

Activity shows high volatility — three awards in 2022 spiking to twenty in 2023, then declining to five in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. The recent decline reflects a contraction in sub-award volume; the most recent CoC prime awards (April 2026) mark a return to active prime engagement. Combined dollars obligated across all seventy-seven awards total $12.3 million over a funding history reaching back to October 2003. Only two awards complete in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete cliff risk in the near term. The organization's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated on HUD homelessness programs with no federal contract experience or parent vehicle participation.
