About the company
Cumac-Echo Inc., doing business as C-U-M-A-C-E-C-H-O, is a nonprofit organization based in Paterson, New Jersey, that operates as a federal grant recipient in the homelessness-prevention and food-security space, with 79% of recent awards held as a prime recipient and 21% as a subrecipient under state-administered federal programs.
Cumac-Echo's core operational footprint centers on two distinct program areas. As a prime recipient, the organization receives annual Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development to establish and operate permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for persons experiencing homelessness in Paterson, New Jersey. The most recent CoC award, issued July 1, 2026, carries $116,153 in funding through June 30, 2027. As a food aggregator and redistributor, Cumac-Echo operates a daily collection-and-redistribution model sourcing food from markets, producers, and suppliers (purchased and gleaned) for high-need, food-insecure areas throughout Passaic County, New Jersey. In that capacity, the organization receives subrecipient funding under the New Jersey Department of Agriculture for cold-storage infrastructure expansion and under the New Jersey Department of Human Services for SNAP outreach activities targeting vulnerable populations.
HUD's CoC Program anchors Cumac-Echo's federal footprint entirely — 11 of 14 awards (100% of federal dollars obligated) flow from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, with annual awards stretching consistently from 2022 through 2026. Secondary engagement includes single subrecipient awards from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service, and from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.4 million, with one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor does not hold prime or subcontract positions on federal supply, services, or construction contracts; its federal presence is entirely grant-based, channeled through HUD's homelessness-intervention mandate and state food-security programs in New Jersey.
