Coastal Community Action Program

Coastal Community Action Program, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Aberdeen, Washington, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting homelessness intervention, energy assistance, and youth services in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties, with supplementary work as a sub-recipient under state-administered federal grant programs. The organization does not hold federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded.

Coastal Community Action Program's capability portfolio centers on direct social services for low-income and homeless populations. The organization administers HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grants (CFDA 14.267) providing permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and homelessness prevention—exemplified by a $137,127 CoC project grant awarded by HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development on November 1, 2025, with performance through October 31, 2026. The organization also delivers Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) weatherization services as a sub-recipient under Washington State Department of Commerce administration, with multiple sub-awards in fiscal 2023–2026 focused on cost-effective energy efficiency and health-and-safety improvements for eligible low-income households. Additional work includes youth shelter operations—"The Walkthrough" Hope Youth Shelter under the Basic Center Program (Administration on Children, Youth and Families)—and senior volunteer engagement through Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) awards from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CFDA not specified in source). A sub-award from Washington State Department of Health dated November 26, 2025, covers housing services for persons living with HIV.

Customer concentration reflects state and federal social-service grant ecosystems. HHS Administration for Children and Families and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development account for 19 of 35 total awards (54% combined), with Department of Energy, Corporation for National and Community Service, and Washington state agencies rounding out the active set. The split between prime and sub work is inverted relative to federal contractors: Coastal Community Action Program holds 13 prime awards (37%, all grants) and 22 sub-awards (63%), with sub-work routed primarily through Washington State Department of Commerce (LIHEAP weatherization) and Washington State Department of Health (housing and supportive services). Recent activity shows steady growth—one award in 2022 to nine in 2025—with only one award reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The organization does not pursue federal contracts or compete on acquisition vehicles; its federal engagement is structured entirely through direct HUD CoC grants and sub-awards from state entities administering HHS and Department of Energy programs.
