About the company
Churches United In Ministry, doing business as Chum, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Duluth, Minnesota, that operates as a prime recipient of federal housing and homelessness-mitigation grants under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), with occasional sub-recipient roles in HUD-funded projects. Chum does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the federal grant space.
Chum's mission centers on emergency shelter operations, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing assistance, and supportive services including case management, counseling, and referrals to mainstream resources for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Recent representative grant awards include a $235,760 Project Grant from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, supporting shelter operations and facility expansion in the Duluth area; a $223,760 Continuum of Care Program grant covering October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025; and a February 17, 2023 Economic Development Initiative award with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2031. Chum has received consistent HUD Continuum of Care funding since 2008, with the program funding used to establish and operate emergency shelters, expand food storage capacity, rehabilitate shelter facilities, and provide supportive services to address both immediate and long-term needs of homeless populations.
Customer concentration is singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for all nine prime grant awards in the source data (75% of Chum's total federal award footprint). Combined dollars obligated across all awards — prime and sub combined — total $3.6 million. Activity has remained modest and flat across recent years (two awards each in 2021 and 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025), with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Chum also holds sub-recipient roles on HUD-funded homelessness-services projects, including December 2025 awards for shelter services and outreach to homeless individuals, and a December 2024 sub-award for food, housing, and childcare services to low-to-moderate-income households experiencing homelessness. Chum's federal footprint is noncompetitive; the organization operates as a mission-driven nonprofit grant recipient rather than as a vendor competing for federal procurement dollars.
