Community Homeless Solutions

Community Homeless Solutions is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Marina, California, operating as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on homelessness prevention and housing assistance, with some subordinate grant-funded activities routed through state intermediaries. The organization does not hold federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of direct HUD grants and state-pass-through sub-awards for domestic violence survivor services.

Community Homeless Solutions' capability portfolio centers on operating emergency shelters, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing programs, and supportive services (counseling, case management, job training, advocacy) serving homeless individuals, families, youth ages 24 and younger, and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Monterey County, California. The organization receives recurring awards from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and has also managed a Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) grant. Representative CoC awards include a $349,631 Project Grant effective January 1–December 31, 2026, a $522,676 Project Grant effective November 1, 2025–October 31, 2026, a $480,002 Project Grant effective November 1, 2024–October 31, 2025, and a $336,779 Project Grant covering January 1–December 31, 2025.

Customer concentration is narrow. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 47 of 57 total awards (82% of the prime footprint), accounting for the entirety of the organization's direct federal grant work. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime Program accounts for 6 awards, and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 4 awards. Community Homeless Solutions acts as a sub-recipient on 10 awards (18% of total), receiving pass-through funding from the California Office of Emergency Services for domestic violence survivor housing and support services, including emergency shelter operations, rapid rehousing pilots, counseling, and court accompaniment.

Activity shows intermittent volume: two awards in 2022, four in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and four recorded in 2026. Combined federal dollars obligated across all 57 awards total $8.5 million. Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. The organization's federal footprint is exclusively grant-funded social services delivery with no federal contract prime or subcontract exposure; recompete risk is minimal relative to the recurring annual CoC funding cycle managed directly by HUD.
