Family Residences And Essential Enterprises, Inc.

Family Residences And Essential Enterprises, Inc., a nonprofit organization and AbilityOne Non-Profit Agency headquartered in Old Bethpage, New York, operates primarily as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (COC) Program (CFDA 14.267), with ancillary service delivery via a single federal contract vehicle. The vendor holds no contract prime positions but receives recurring COC grants (40 awards in recent years) to establish and operate permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) for homeless individuals and families in the New York region. A firm fixed-price purchase order from the Federal Aviation Administration for janitorial, groundskeeping, and landscaping services at New York facilities represents the vendor's only federal contract activity.

Federal grant activity concentrates almost entirely with HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which accounts for 40 of 46 total awards (87% by count). Three additional awards come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency under workforce and COVID response programs, and two from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration placed one $55,504.02 purchase order (September 25, 2023 through December 31, 2023) for janitorial and grounds service at the Islip and Farmingdale Air Traffic Control Towers and grounds maintenance at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center in Ronkonkoma, New York — the only federal contract dollar value explicitly present in the source.

The vendor's COC grant portfolio runs on a regular biannual cycle (February and October) with annual performance periods. Representative recent grants include $457,081 awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and a prior-year award with completion date January 31, 2026. Two sub-grant awards appear in the record: a workforce retention and recruitment sub-grant from the New York State Office of Mental Health (December 29, 2021) and a FEMA COVID project sub-award from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (December 20, 2021), now closed. Combined potential value across all 46 awards stands at $56 thousand, substantially exceeded by combined dollars obligated ($11.3 million), reflecting the grant program's structure wherein HUD's potential value field does not capture full annual funding. Award frequency has stabilized at one to three per year since 2022, with one award completion (the FAA purchase order) occurring in the next twenty-four months.
