City Of Spokane

City Of Spokane Grants Management Division, doing business as Accounting Department, is a U.S. municipal government entity based in Spokane, Washington that acts as a federal grant recipient and administrator (94% of recent awards prime) across housing, homelessness, public safety, environmental, and community development programs. The entity operates as a child division of the parent City Of Spokane and does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; all federal activity is grant-based, formula-allocated, or project-awarded through HUD, DOJ, EPA, FEMA, and allied civilian agencies.

The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in homelessness and community development grant administration. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the award portfolio at 164 awards (70% of the 233 total), with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh placing 11 awards valued at $164 thousand for utility services at the NIOSH Spokane Campus. Recent representative work includes a $5.49 million Continuum of Care (CoC) Program award (CFDA 14.267) issued August 1, 2025, through which the city distributes funding to nonprofit sub-recipients including Catholic Charities of Spokane and Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners for rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless populations; a $1.138 million HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) formula grant awarded December 5, 2025, for affordable housing rehabilitation and tenant-based rental assistance; a $267 thousand Emergency Solutions Grant (CFDA 14.231) for street outreach, emergency shelter, and homelessness prevention; and a $1 million COPS Hiring Program award (CFDA 16.068) from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services to expand the Spokane Police Department's community policing capacity through officer hiring. The city also received a $6 million USDA Forest Service Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program grant (CFDA 10.727) for the TREE EQUITY SPOKANE initiative and acts as prime recipient and fiscal agent for multiple Continuum of Care youth homelessness awards, distributing sub-awards to Catholic Charities of Spokane, Family Promise of Spokane, and Volunteers of America of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.

On the federal contract side, the city holds five utility services purchase orders from CDC Pittsburgh for water, sewer, garbage, and recycling services at the NIOSH Spokane Campus—a $20.4 thousand firm fixed-price order awarded May 1, 2026 (ultimate completion April 30, 2027), a $23.2 thousand order from August 2024, and a $12.2 thousand order from October 2023—and a one-dollar firm fixed-price definitive contract from Naval Facilities Engineering Command issued September 1, 2023, running through September 30, 2031, for water and sewer services to Naval Station Spokane and the Marine Corps Reserve Center. These utility contracts represent continuation of the city's municipal service provider relationship with federal facilities in the region.

The city's grant sub-award activity includes disaster recovery and resilience work as a sub-recipient: wildfire smoke mitigation projects through Gonzaga University sub-awards (most recent March 18, 2026); State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program pass-throughs from Washington State; water infrastructure work sub-awarded by the Washington State Department of Health; parks and recreation development projects sub-awarded by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office; and FEMA disaster recovery funding for storm and flood damage restoration through Washington State Military Department sub-awards.

Activity has remained steady, averaging 10 to 18 awards annually over the past five years, with nine awards (combined potential value $496 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months. The utility services work with CDC Pittsburgh represents the highest-value individual contract line ($164 thousand combined across all CDC orders since October 2021), while grant awards cluster heavily in HUD formula programs for affordable housing and homelessness intervention. The city does not compete under set-asides or federal contract vehicles; it qualifies for federal funding as an entitlement community and Participating Jurisdiction under HUD Community Planning and Development programs and as a local government eligible for formula and project grants across federal agencies.
