About the company
City of Des Moines, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, operates as a federal grant recipient across homelessness intervention, public housing operations, community development, and emergency management, with 740 prime awards (98% of its footprint) spanning 23 federal agencies.
The city's federal grant activity concentrates heavily in HUD programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 279 awards, primarily through the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which funds permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and homeless management information systems. The Public and Indian Housing Office contributes 121 awards, including formula grants for public housing operations (CFDA 14.850), public housing capital improvements (CFDA 14.872), and the Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896). Recent representative grants include $1.337 million under the Continuum of Care Program (awarded November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2026) passed through to Anawim Housing Inc. for sponsor-based rental assistance to chronically homeless individuals with disabilities; $1.065 million under the Public Housing Capital Fund (awarded April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030) for public housing modernization; and $8.24 million under the Safe Streets and Roads for All Program (CFDA 20.939, awarded July 16, 2026, through July 16, 2031) for the "Safer Streets DSM: Prioritizing People" roadway safety initiative. The city administers pass-through funding to sub-recipient nonprofits including Anawim Housing Inc., Youth & Shelter Services Inc., Children & Families of Iowa / Family Violence Center, Primary Health Care Inc., and the Institute for Community Alliances for homelessness and housing services delivery.
Beyond housing and homelessness programs, the city holds awards from the Department of Justice (13 awards under the Bureau of Justice Assistance for law enforcement equipment and training), the Department of Interior (urban and community forestry under the Inflation Reduction Act, $2.5 million awarded August 2024), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Assistance to Firefighters Grant, $558 thousand awarded August 2024), and the Department of Transportation (Safe Streets and Roads for All, noted above). The city also participates in the Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.218) and the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) for affordable housing development. Fair housing complaint processing and training awards (CFDA 14.400 and related) from HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity account for 18 awards.
Activity volume has remained steady at 26 to 36 awards per year over the past five years, with 15 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date through September. The city reports 25 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months. Real obligated dollars significantly exceed reported potential values, with $266.7 million obligated against $9.8 million combined potential value across the portfolio — a pattern typical of formula grant programs with multi-year obligation and execution cycles. The city's primary vehicle footprint centers on GSA leasing agreements for facilities management (Basic Ordering Agreement GS06B10016 with 85 task orders, $5.3 million combined potential value), reflecting its role as a lessor of nonresidential buildings (258 awards under NAICS 531311). The city does not hold federal contracts as a prime contractor; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based, with sub-award activity representing only 2% of volume and flowing primarily through state and local pass-throughs to nonprofit homelessness and housing services providers.
