County Of Clearfield

County of Clearfield, operating as Community Connections of Clearfield/Jefferson Counties, is a local government entity and federal grant recipient providing homeless assistance and housing rehabilitation services to the DuBois, Pennsylvania region as a prime recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The vendor is structured as a county government entity and does not compete for federal contracts; all federal engagement flows through HUD grants. The vendor operates as a division or operating name of the parent County of Clearfield (a separate SAM-registered U.S. local government entity based in Clearfield, Pennsylvania).

The vendor's federal footprint is highly concentrated in a single grantor agency and program. All twenty of its prime grant awards and one sub-award across the past nineteen years derive from HUD's Community Planning and Development office under the Continuum of Care Program, which funds permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) implementation. Recent awards include a $234,633 project grant effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; a prior-year award covering July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026; a $101,118 project grant for the July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 period; and consecutive annual awards in 2023, 2022, and 2021. A single sub-award documented in the source (dated May 29, 2024) supported Clearfield County housing rehabilitation assistance for low-income and very low-income homeowners — prevention of blight rather than active homeless services. The vendor has consistently held CoC funding since at least 2020.

Combined dollars obligated across all twenty-one awards total $1.8 million. Activity is modest and stable: one award per year from 2022 through 2025, two in 2024, and one in 2026. One award (the current July 1, 2026 grant) will complete inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete. The source does not identify named subrecipients or major teaming arrangements beyond the parent County of Clearfield relationship, nor does it document federal contractors or consultants engaged under the grants. This is direct local-government grant administration for regional homeless services delivery, not contractor supply-chain engagement.
