About Compass House
Compass House, doing business as Compass House Shelter & Resources Center, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Buffalo, New York, registered with the federal government since May 2005 to receive federal grant awards. The organization is a domestic shelter provider dedicated to serving vulnerable youth populations experiencing homelessness and housing instability. Compass House operates as a community-based service provider focused on emergency intervention, temporary shelter, and comprehensive support services designed to help runaway and homeless youth access stable housing and critical resources.
Compass House has received substantial federal grant funding through two primary programs: the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Basic Center Program (CFDA 93.623) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), including specialized Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) funding. Under the Basic Center Program, Compass House received $350,000 (award period September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2028) to provide temporary emergency shelter, counseling, food, clothing, and health care referrals to youth under 18 years old, with the goal of preventing youth from entering law enforcement or child welfare systems and facilitating family reunification. Through multiple HUD Continuum of Care awards dating back to 2021, totaling over $1.9 million in documented funding, Compass House has delivered permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing services, homeless management information systems support, and wraparound support services with particular emphasis on serving youth under 24 years old. The organization has also operated as a prime grantee receiving sub-award funding, as evidenced by a 2023 sub-grant from the Town of Tonawanda supporting runaway youth shelter operations. These grants enable Compass House to provide comprehensive services addressing homelessness prevention, emergency shelter operations, transitional support, and permanent housing solutions for some of Buffalo's most vulnerable youth populations.
