Collaborative Support Programs Of NJ Inc.

Collaborative Support Programs Of NJ Inc., doing business as Cspnj, is a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation based in Freehold, New Jersey, that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on homeless services and housing assistance, with no federal contract prime work and minimal subrecipient activity (95% of recent awards are prime grants). The organization operates almost exclusively under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), with ancillary work under HHS grant programs addressing mental health and research partnerships.

Cspnj's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in HUD CoC funding. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 223 of 231 awards (97% coverage), reflecting a recurring annual cycle of project grants supporting permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention activities. Recent representative CoC awards include a $1,365,830 project grant (awarded December 1, 2025, running through November 30, 2026), a $1,050,207 grant (September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026), a $1,042,898 grant (November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026), and a $873,698 grant (August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2026). Beyond HUD, Cspnj has received three awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living, two from SAMHSA, and two from Administration for Children and Families, totaling 7 distinct customer agencies across federal sources.

Activity has grown modestly year over year—twelve awards in 2022 to eighteen in 2025—with combined dollars obligated totaling $47.2 million across 238 awards since 2004. Eleven awards carrying combined ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months face recompete exposure, anchored by the HUD CoC annual grant cycle. In its subrecipient role, Cspnj delivers rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention services to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, contributes staff and research consultation to University of Illinois studies on immune health literacy and disability recovery interventions funded under the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, and provides peer staff training to state mental health agencies under HHS Mental Health Block Grant funding from the New Jersey Department of Human Services. Cspnj's capability portfolio centers on peer-led housing placement, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health and substance abuse treatment for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness, with particular specialization in serving populations with mental health challenges and other special needs.
