About the company
Columbia Housing Center, Inc., a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Columbia, Maryland, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering fair housing advisory services and affirmative marketing programming funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) awards administered by Howard County. The organization has received three sub-award allocations totaling $320 thousand across the past three years, all flowing from the Department of Housing and Urban Development via Howard County as the pass-through grantor.
Columbia Housing Center's work centers on housing advisory services, fair housing education programming, and affirmative marketing to promote racial integration and reduce residential segregation in Howard County. The vendor's sub-awards from HUD CDBG funds support tenant placement and landlord matching services modeled on the Oak Park Regional Housing Center framework. The most recent sub-award (May 2026, $320 thousand obligated cumulatively through the series) tasks the organization with disbursing CDBG funds to cover eligible costs associated with affirmative marketing programming. A December 2024 sub-award directed the vendor to provide housing advisory and educational services to prospective renters in Howard County while affirmatively marketing rental units to further fair housing compliance. An earlier November 2023 sub-award established the vendor as the implementing partner for a CDBG-funded program designed to help landlords and tenants connect while actively promoting integration in response to emerging segregation patterns.
The vendor does not hold federal prime contracts, IDIQs, or GWACs. All three awards are sub-recipient grants issued under HUD's CDBG program (CFDA 14.218), passed through Howard County Department of Planning and Zoning. Activity has held steady at one award per calendar year (2023, 2024, 2026), with no growth trajectory evident in the source window. The organization does not compete on federal contract vehicles and carries no teaming relationships with federal prime contractors.
