Committee For Dignity & Fairness For The Homeless Housing Development Inc.

Committee For Dignity & Fairness For The Homeless Housing Development Inc., operating as Dignity Housing, is a Black American-owned, tax-exempt nonprofit organization that serves as a direct recipient of federal grants for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and homeless assistance services. Dignity Housing operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and related youth homelessness initiatives, with no federal contract prime awards or subcontract work in its footprint.

Dignity Housing's service delivery focuses on comprehensive homeless assistance in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The organization delivers permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services including case management and rental assistance. Eligible project costs covered by awards include facility leasing, operating expenses, and supportive services designed to minimize the trauma of homelessness while promoting housing stability and self-sufficiency. The vendor also serves specific subpopulations including unaccompanied youth and families at risk of homelessness through the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP).

Customer concentration is singular: all forty-five awards in the source data derive from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, representing 100% of Dignity Housing's federal award footprint. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $10.2 million over the award history in the source. Recent grants include a $484,521 CoC Program Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026; two Project Grants effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026; two CoC Program Project Grants effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025; and a Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program Project Grant running October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2025. Activity has remained modest and flat—two awards in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, and three in 2025—with only one award carrying an ultimate completion date inside the next twenty-four months and thus subject to recompete. Dignity Housing's federal footprint reflects a direct-service nonprofit model narrowly tailored to HUD homeless-assistance programs rather than a diversified federal contractor or grant-recipient portfolio.
