City Of Long Beach

City Of Long Beach, doing business as Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services, is a U.S. local government entity that operates as a federal grant recipient (53% of recent awards as prime recipient, 47% as sub-recipient) delivering public health infrastructure, housing hazard abatement, homelessness services, HIV prevention and treatment, and community crisis response across California. The entity has no federal contracting footprint; all activity flows through federal grant programs administered by HUD, CDC, HRSA, and NHTSA.

Long Beach Dept of Health and Human Services operates primarily as a prime grant recipient under HUD's Community Planning and Development and Healthy Homes programs, with significant sub-recipient roles under County of Los Angeles and California Department of Public Health grants. The organization is a child entity within the larger City of Long Beach municipal structure. Recent prime-recipient grants include a $6,055,518 HUD Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (CFDA 14.900) awarded March 15, 2026, extending through March 15, 2030, funding lead-based paint hazard identification and control in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing units in low-income Long Beach neighborhoods where children under six face lead poisoning risk; and multiple HUD Continuum of Care Program grants supporting permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and homeless management information systems. A $1,706,641 earlier lead hazard reduction award from April 15, 2024, running through October 15, 2027, mirrors the scope of the 2026 grant. The department also holds a cooperative agreement from the CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, awarded September 30, 2023 and running through September 29, 2028, for enhancing the city's sexual health clinic infrastructure.

Customer concentration is acute and stable. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the funding base at 127 awards, representing roughly 47% of all awards in the portfolio. The CDC Centers for Disease Control and Prevention follows with 71 awards (approximately 27% of total), and HRSA Health Resources and Services Administration carries 50 awards (approximately 19%). HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control accounts for 5 awards, and NHTSA represents 3 awards. These five customers account for 96% of all 268 awards in the portfolio. The split between HUD homelessness programming (COC and related) and health department work (CDC, HRSA, lead abatement) is embedded in this customer concentration rather than segregated by sub-recipient versus prime.

As a sub-recipient, Long Beach Dept of Health and Human Services receives the bulk of its federal funding through County of Los Angeles pass-through grants in HIV surveillance, prevention, and emergency relief (HRSA/CDC funding streams); California Department of Public Health immunization and vaccine-preventable disease prevention funding; and California Board of State and Community Corrections funding for the Community Crisis Response program, an unarmed, civilian crisis-intervention alternative to 9-1-1 response. The sub-award volume is substantial—126 sub-awards in the portfolio—but driven by repeated small allocations within large state-administered programs rather than multiple distinct federal sources. A representative example is the suite of HIV Emergency Relief Project sub-awards from Los Angeles County, with dozens of allocations since 2023, each supporting HIV/AIDS core and support services for low-income individuals living with HIV.

Activity trajectory shows concentration in a past spike. The portfolio recorded 6 awards in 2022, 76 in 2023, 49 in 2024, 4 in 2025, and 1 in 2026. The 2023 spike likely reflects data-entry consolidation or batch-award processing by CDC or HRSA for sub-recipient allocations; the pattern is consistent with state and regional health department sub-award management in HUD COC and CDC categorical grant programs. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete risk and suggesting Long Beach's steady-state portfolio is oriented toward multi-year grants with staggered completion cycles. Combined federal dollars obligated across all 268 awards total $211.5 million, spanning eighteen years of activity. The department does not compete for federal contracts and holds no seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs; all federal engagement is grant-recipient driven.
