Forkids, Inc.

Forkids, Inc., operating as Haven House, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that receives federal grants as a prime recipient to operate emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, homelessness prevention, and housing stabilization services for families and individuals experiencing housing instability in the Chesapeake, Virginia area. The organization's federal footprint consists entirely of Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, with no federal contracting activity.

Haven House operates as a prime recipient on 91 percent of its federal awards. The organization has received 90 CoC grants since 2007, representing 91 percent of its award count and the overwhelming majority of its combined obligated dollars ($23.7 million across all awards). Recent prime CoC grants include a $937,555 project grant covering November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026; a $702,610 project grant covering October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026; a $141,526 project grant covering June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027; and a $702,610 project grant covering July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Each award supports comprehensive homeless assistance services across the CoC program's five eligible components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. Haven House partners with sub-awardees including the City of Norfolk and the City of Chesapeake to implement these interventions.

Haven House's sub-award activity centers on program delivery under CoC grants from larger prime recipients. Sub-awardee programs include Emergency Shelter (case management and housing location assistance), Rapid Re-Housing (housing stabilization and financial assistance for rent and related costs), Homeless Prevention (diversion and prevention specialist support for households facing financial crisis), and Permanent Supportive Housing (targeted assistance for families with disabled members). Recent sub-awardee work includes four program streams awarded July 1, 2025, and four program streams awarded July 1, 2024, spanning emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and permanent supportive housing delivery.

Activity has remained stable at five to nine awards per year from 2022 through 2025, with only one award recorded as of June 2026. Three awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. Haven House's customer base is highly concentrated: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100 percent of recent federal funding, with a single National Endowment for the Arts grant representing the sole non-HUD award in the source data. The organization operates in a grant-recipient posture rather than as a federal contractor or government-wide vehicle holder, with no seat on GWACs, BPAs, or other IDVs.
