The Community Action Program Corporation Of Washington-Morgan Counties

The Community Action Program Corporation Of Washington-Morgan Counties, a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Marietta, Ohio, receives federal grants as a prime recipient across housing, veteran services, child nutrition, and homelessness prevention programs. The organization acts as prime recipient on 43 percent of awards and as sub-recipient on 57 percent, operating primarily through state-administered pass-through grants from Ohio departments rather than direct federal procurement.

The organization's federal grant portfolio centers on five concrete capability areas. It receives grants under the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Preservation Grants program (CFDA 10.433) to fund repair and rehabilitation assistance for owner-occupied homes serving very low- and low-income rural residents in non-metropolitan Ohio — a $100,000 project grant awarded July 29, 2026, with completion targeted for August 29, 2027, exemplifies this work. The Department of Veterans Affairs awards it $1,138,023 under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program (CFDA 64.033) to provide outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing stability to very low-income veteran families; multiple SSVF awards span 2022 through October 2025, with a current grant running through September 2026. The Department of Housing and Urban Development funds Continuum of Care homelessness prevention and housing programs, with recurring project grants awarded June 1 each year through May 31 of the following year. The Department of Health and Human Services funds Head Start early childhood services (CFDA 93.600), with a four-year-plus grant awarded April 1, 2024, running through March 31, 2029. The VA also awards the organization project grants under its suicide prevention program (CFDA 64.078), with a three-year grant awarded September 19, 2022, completing September 30, 2025.

The organization receives the majority of its federal dollars through state-administered sub-grants routed from Ohio's Department of Development, Department of Health, and Department of Education, acting as sub-recipient on awards for Community Services Block Grants, the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), and the Summer Food Service Program. Representative sub-awards from Ohio entities include HEAP funding (multiple awards 2023–2025), WIC nutrition services (monthly sub-grants from Ohio Department of Health throughout 2024–2025), CACFP and Summer Food Program allocations (recurring annual awards from Ohio Department of Education), and Community Services Block Grants (CSBG awards from Ohio Department of Development). A Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program sub-award was passed through from Ohio in February 2024.

Customer concentration is dominated by federal programs funneled through state intermediaries. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 15 awards; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 13 awards; the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health accounts for 13 awards; with the Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development and other agencies rounding out the portfolio. These five categories represent 68 percent of awards. The organization has received 76 total awards in the source window, with combined dollars obligated at $89.8 million.

Activity has grown materially: four awards in 2022 to nineteen in 2024, then eighteen in 2025 and seven through July 2026. Only three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. Place of performance is Ohio, specifically Washington and Morgan counties and subordinate service areas in southeastern Ohio. The organization does not hold federal contracts or positions on government-wide contract vehicles; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based.
