Comite De Bien Estar, Inc.

Comite De Bien Estar, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation headquartered in San Luis, Arizona, serves as a prime recipient of federal housing and rural development grants and as a sub-recipient on USDA food assistance and HUD vaccination programs, focusing on affordable housing, homebuyer education, and community development services for low-income rural populations in the Southwest.

Comite De Bien Estar operates as a community development corporation with a subsidiary, Border Financial Resources, Inc., also structured as a nonprofit community development corporation. The parent vendor holds 57% of recent awards as a prime recipient; the remaining 43% flow through sub-awards from state and nonprofit pass-through entities. The vendor's federal footprint concentrates entirely on grants, not contracts — no contract vehicles or contract prime positions appear in the source record. USDA Rural Housing Service dominates the prime grant portfolio, with five awards under the Rural Self-Help Housing Technical Assistance program (CFDA 10.420) and three additional awards under the Single Family Housing Program. Representative prime awards include a $1.68 million Project Grant from USDA RHS dated April 2027 (completion targeted January 2028) for technical assistance enabling low-income households to build homes using the self-help method in rural Arizona, and a $1.9 million Project Grant awarded August 2024 (completion October 2025) providing construction expertise, homebuyer education, and financial counseling to support affordable rural homeownership. The Department of the Treasury Community Development Financial Institutions Fund issued two Capital Magnet Fund Project Grants (October 2023 and June 2022) to finance and support affordable rental housing and homeownership for low- and extremely low-income populations, with one award running through December 2025.

As a sub-recipient, Comite De Bien Estar participates in USDA Food and Nutrition Service sub-awards flowing from the Arizona Department of Education (four awards related to Child and Adult Care Food Program administration, dated July 2024 through July 2026), HUD vaccination education grants administered by UnidosUS (two sub-awards, February 2025 and March 2024), housing counseling support from the Rural Community Assistance Corporation (January 2025), and affordable housing development capacity building funded through LISC Rural funding (November 2024). Activity has grown moderately, with one award in 2023 rising to four in 2024 and 2025. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months; most recent grants carry longer performance periods, reducing near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's capability set concentrates on rural housing development, self-help construction programs, homebuyer education and financial counseling, affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation, community development financing, and health equity outreach in low-income Southwest communities, with no Federal Acquisition Regulation contract experience in the source data.
