Community Rebuilders

Community Rebuilders, a Grand Rapids, Michigan-based nonprofit tax-exempt organization, operates as a federal grant recipient and federal service contractor delivering homeless services, veteran support, and housing assistance to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies. The organization competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations) and operates predominantly as a prime recipient and contractor rather than a subcontractor, with 89% of recent awards positioned as prime or prime grantee roles across 143 total federal awards spanning contracts, IDIQs, and grants.

Community Rebuilders' capability footprint centers on Continuum of Care (CoC) Program administration, rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing delivery, veteran homelessness prevention and treatment, employment training for homeless veterans, and supportive services case management. Representative work includes multiple HUD CoC Program grants for permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing across Wyoming, Michigan—including a $1.63 million award (CFDA 14.267, November 2025, administered to subrecipients Hope Network Affordable Independent Living Nonprofit Housing Corporation and Arbor Circle Corporation), a $1.114 million CoC grant (November 2025), and several $700,000–$800,000 annual tranches; the Department of Veterans Affairs Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033) grant work delivering outreach, case management, and temporary financial assistance to very low-income veteran families, including a $793,337 award (September 2025); and firm fixed-price delivery orders from Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 for Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) services at the Battle Creek VA Medical Center, including orders of $259,945.70 and $183,718.32 through 2031. Community Rebuilders also holds a single-award IDIQ from VISN 10 with a $2.844 million ceiling (awarded October 2025, ultimate completion October 2030) for HCHV residential services, case management, and permanent housing transition support.

Customer concentration is stark and divided by funding mechanism. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (HUD ASCPD) funds 90 CoC Program grants and dominates award count, while the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 anchors dollar value with 22 awards and the full $15.4 million in combined potential value across the portfolio. The Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health funds 19 additional awards (primarily Supportive Services for Veteran Families grants and per diem/capital funding for transitional housing). Together, VA components account for the entire measured potential value despite HUD's numerical dominance by award count. The split signals that HUD awards are smaller, annual or shorter-term grant tranches, while VA contracts carry larger ceiling values tied to longer-term performance periods.

Community Rebuilders places task orders under four named IDIQs: the Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C25019D0072 (7 task orders, $2 million potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract VA25114D0099 (5 task orders, $3 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C25018D0186 (4 task orders, $1.5 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C25026D0006 (2 task orders, $520 thousand). The organization also holds the single-award IDIQ 36C25025D0099 issued by VISN 10 in October 2025. No sub-award activity appears in the federal contract stream; grant sub-award work centers on pass-through funding to Michigan housing nonprofits (Hope Network, Arbor Circle, others) under CoC and state HOME-ARP administrations, as well as sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for housing voucher and shelter pilot programs.

Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five fiscal years—14 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 14 in 2025 (with 3 recorded through early 2026)—suggesting a stable operational baseline rather than growth trajectory. The recompete cliff presents minimal near-term risk: only nine awards with ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $260 thousand. SCI-reportable federal service contracting activity is negligible—only $377 thousand invoiced across FY2023 at a median government-paid rate of $81.08 per hour with 2.2 FTEs—indicating that the bulk of Community Rebuilders' federal activity runs through grant rather than service contract mechanisms and therefore falls outside SCI reporting thresholds. The organization has been registered in SAM.gov since 2008 and acts as the largest recipient of HUD CoC funding in its region, serving as lead agency for the local SSVF Program and maintaining the community's functional-zero homeless plan through Continuum of Care leadership roles.
