About the company
Eastern Carolina Human Services Agency Inc., doing business as Community Action, is a Jacksonville, North Carolina-based nonprofit that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting workforce development and economic self-sufficiency programs. The organization holds no federal contracts but operates exclusively through federal grant programs, with 85% of recent awards held as prime recipient status and 15% as a sub-recipient to state agencies.
The vendor's federal footprint centers on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Family Self-Sufficiency Program (Section 23 of the 1937 Housing Act), which accounts for the entirety of its prime grant activity. Eastern Carolina has received five consecutive annual FSS Project Grants from HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office for calendar years 2022 through 2026, each running January 1 through December 31 of its award year. Under these awards, the organization funds Family Self-Sufficiency coordinators who enroll and maintain low-income families in public housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and project-based rental assistance programs; prepare individual training and services plans; and build employer and service-provider partnerships to support family employment and wage advancement. The organization must maintain a minimum of 25 participating families per funded FSS coordinator position, with that requirement increasing by 50 families per each additional coordinator. As a sub-recipient, Eastern Carolina has received two awards (July 2024 and July 2025) flowing through the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, supporting community poverty reduction and economic empowerment initiatives.
HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office dominates the vendor's customer portfolio, accounting for all 10 prime awards in the recent award set. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Homeland Security together account for the remaining three awards. Combined dollars obligated across all thirteen awards (prime and sub, spanning from 2008 to present) total $2.5 million. Activity has remained modest and consistent, with one to two awards per year over the past five years. One award in the source data reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a single recompete opportunity.
