Decatur Place

Decatur Place, a nonprofit child entity of Mercy Housing Inc. based in Denver, Colorado, receives federal grants as a prime recipient to fund Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program coordinator positions serving residents of public housing, housing choice vouchers, and project-based rental assistance properties. The vendor operates exclusively under HUD grants with no federal contract footprint; all four recent awards (2023–2026) are Project Grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office.

Decatur Place's capability is narrowly scoped to FSS program administration. Under each grant award, the organization hires and retains full-time equivalent FSS coordinators responsible for enrolling and maintaining families in the program, preparing individual training and services plans, and building partnerships with employers and community service providers. The intended beneficiaries are low-income families in HUD-assisted housing working toward employment and self-sufficiency goals over five to seven years. Decatur Place has received consecutive annual Project Grants from HUD/PIH in 2023 ($286 thousand combined across all four awards documented in the source), 2024, 2025, and 2026, with each award covering one calendar year of performance. The 2026 award (January 1 through December 31, 2026) is the most recent in the source.

Customer concentration is singular — all four awards fund the same federal agency (HUD/PIH), and renewal applicants are statutorily prioritized, signaling a stable but narrow grant pipeline. One award completes within the next twenty-four months (the 2026 grant ending December 31, 2026), presenting a recompete opportunity. As a child of Mercy Housing Inc., a Denver-based tax-exempt nonprofit housing provider, Decatur Place operates within a larger parent structure focused on affordable housing development and management; the parent holds its own federal grant prime-award status with HUD.
