Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc.

Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a prime recipient of federal grants and prime contractor delivering transitional housing, case management, and supportive services for homeless veterans, unaccompanied youth, and very low-income families to the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Department of Veterans Affairs.

Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc. operates as a direct service provider and grant recipient across a concentrated portfolio anchored in homelessness prevention and housing stability programs. The organization serves homeless and at-risk populations through transitional housing, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, case management, outreach, and assistance obtaining VA and public benefits. On the contract side, the organization holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 valued at $3.5 million through January 2, 2030, authorizing transitional housing services for homeless veterans in Myrtle Beach and Charleston, South Carolina, with two delivery orders issued to date: a $409,036 order for year-one services (January 2025) and a $472,356 order for year-two services (January 2026), both priced firm fixed-price with no set-aside designation. The organization also received a prior sole-source definitive contract from VISN 7 valued at $569,804 for Charleston transitional housing services (September 2023, completed January 2025) and an earlier $361,100 definitive contract for transitional housing in Myrtle Beach (September 2022 through October 2023). No subcontractors were noted on these VA contracts.

On the grant side, Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc. is overwhelmingly concentrated in the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which accounts for approximately 75 percent of the organization's recent award count. The organization received multiple HUD CoC awards in the current funding cycle, including $1.093 million (June 2026), $846,980 (August 2026), $612,654 (June 2026), $473,163 (June 2026), and $347,078 under a rural set-aside special notice (August 2026), with additional FY2025 and FY2024 CoC grants ranging from approximately $101,000 to $905,000. The organization is also a prime recipient under HUD's Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (CFDA 14.276), having received a $1.991 million award (December 2024, completion May 2027) and multiple prior-year YHDP grants. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration has awarded the organization $3.060 million under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033, October 2025 through September 2026), $2.448 million under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (CFDA 64.024, October 2024 through September 2027), and prior SSVF grants including $1.199 million (August 2022) and additional awards across multiple fiscal years. The organization also acts as a sub-recipient to Horry County and other HUD-administering entities on Emergency Solutions Grant (CFDA 14.231) awards and on HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239) tenant-based rental assistance and homelessness prevention sub-awards, with the most recent ESG sub-award dated October 12, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme: the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 123 of 173 total awards (71% of award count); the VA Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health and VISN 7 together fund 28 awards carrying $6.1 million in combined potential value. The organization has worked with a small number of additional federal agencies, including the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service, each with a single award. The organization's total potential value across all awards stands at $6.1 million, though obligated dollars across all awards exceed that figure at $78.4 million (an anomaly driven by full-cycle funding and prior-year obligations on rolling grant cycles), with fourteen awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and carrying $472,000 in combined potential value.

On the Service Contract Inventory reporting side, the organization invoiced $331,000 across a single SCI-reportable service contract in FY2023 with government-paid hourly rates at $26.53/hr, which reflects the low cost-basis operations model typical of nonprofit housing and social service delivery. No SCI records appear in FY2022, FY2024, or FY2025, suggesting that the organization's federal activity above the $150,000 reporting threshold is sporadic on the services side and concentrated in grants and defined-scope contracts.

Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc. competes without SBA designations or set-aside categories on all contracts and the vast majority of its grants. The organization's federal profile is that of a regional specialized provider — a nonprofit with deep mission alignment and established operational capacity in veteran and family homelessness services, serving a narrow customer base (HUD and VA) across a limited geographic footprint (Myrtle Beach and Charleston, South Carolina) through direct service delivery rather than through broader federal contracting vehicles, IDIQs, or teaming relationships. The organization does not sit on government-wide acquisition vehicles or bid subcontracts to prime contractors; it operates as a direct grant recipient and sole-source or lightly-competed contract prime in the homelessness services sector.
