Champaign, County

Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, a U.S. local government planning commission serving Champaign County, Illinois, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on homelessness support, community development, workforce services, and transportation planning. The organization is structured as a county-level planning entity headquartered in Urbana, Illinois, and does not hold federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of grant awards as prime recipient (65% of recent federal funding) and sub-recipient (35%).

The commission's primary federal capability centers on administering the Department of Housing and Urban Development Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which dominates its activity footprint at 83 of 161 total awards in the portfolio. Under this program, the commission provides rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems for individuals and families experiencing homelessness across Champaign County. Representative prime grants include a $220,078 CoC award and a $439,521 CoC award, both dated July 1, 2026, with performance through June 30, 2027; a $486,713 CoC grant awarded July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025; and a $202,700 CoC grant over the same 2024–2025 period. The commission also received a $439,521 lead-based paint hazard reduction grant from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (ultimate completion March 14, 2028), a Safe Streets and Roads for All program grant from the Federal Highway Administration (awarded August 13, 2024, through July 13, 2029), and a Department of Energy project grant supporting integration of healthy homes evaluations with weatherization audits (awarded March 1, 2023, through February 28, 2026).

Customer concentration skews heavily toward HUD, which anchors 83 awards (or 52% of the total 161-award portfolio) under the Continuum of Care program. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration follows with 15 awards, while the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 carries 13 awards worth a combined $2.7 million in potential value—the single largest potential-value customer despite placing fewer awards than HUD. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 8 awards, and the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration holds 5 awards worth $60 thousand combined potential value. These top five customer agencies represent 77% of the portfolio by award count.

In its sub-recipient role, the commission receives pass-through federal funding from the State of Illinois, particularly from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity for workforce services under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), Community Service Block Grant (CSBG), Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), weatherization programs, trade adjustment assistance, and regional apprenticeship navigator support. The commission also receives sub-awards from the Illinois Department of Transportation for transportation planning and equity studies. The source identifies two parent Basic Ordering Agreements with the Department of Veterans Affairs (BOA VA25114A0016 with 6 task orders worth $1.6 million combined potential value, and BOA VA25112A0042 with 5 task orders worth $282 thousand), indicating some direct VA clinical or support services work.

Activity has accelerated in recent years—from 6 awards in 2022 to a peak of 35 in 2024, before moderating to 18 in 2025 and 10 through August 2026. The combined potential value across all 161 awards is $2.7 million, but the combined dollars obligated total $49.9 million, reflecting substantial invoiced performance on grants spanning multiple fiscal years. Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete or renewal opportunity. The category concentration shows nursing care facilities and services for the elderly and persons with disabilities as the top NAICS framing, consistent with the commission's role in administering supportive housing and human services programs. The organization does not compete for contracts and holds no IDIQs, GWACs, or vehicle seats; its revenue model is entirely grant-dependent and geographically anchored to Champaign County and the broader Illinois state system.
