About the company
Facing Forward To End Homelessness, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Chicago, Illinois, is a prime recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, and supportive services to homeless individuals and families in the Chicago metropolitan area under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267).
The organization operates exclusively within the HUD CoC grant ecosystem. All 88 awards in its federal footprint derive from a single customer agency—HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development—making it entirely dependent on the CoC program for federal revenue. Recent awards include a $2.064 million CoC grant (August 2025 through July 2026) for permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, a $803 thousand award (April 2026 through March 2027) supporting housing counseling and job training, and a $773 thousand grant (July 2026 through June 2027) funding case management and mental health treatment. The organization delivers integrated services spanning five CoC program components: permanent housing including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing; transitional housing; supportive services only; Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) operations; and homelessness prevention. Eligible activities funded through CoC grants encompass real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, planning costs, rental assistance, case management, housing counseling, job training, and mental health and substance abuse treatment.
Facing Forward operates as a prime grant recipient on 82 of its 88 awards (93%), with the remaining 6 awards (7%) as a sub-recipient under prime grantees including the Corporation For Supportive Housing. In its sub-recipient role, the organization assesses households for housing opportunities through Chicago's Coordinated Entry System and locates housing for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $45.5 million, reflecting sustained CoC funding from 2022 through 2026 at a relatively flat clip of six to eight awards per year. Eight awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering annual recompete cycles typical of the CoC program's rolling grant structure.
