About the company
Foster Forward, a Rhode Island-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on housing and supportive services for homeless and at-risk youth, with minimal subcontracting footprint. The organization holds no federal contracts and does not sit on procurement vehicles; its federal work flows exclusively through HUD's Community Planning and Development office under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), with supplementary sub-award activity routed through state agencies.
Foster Forward's capability portfolio centers on permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, rental assistance, case management, crisis intervention, peer support recovery, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure. The organization targets homeless and at-risk youth and young adults aged 18–24, with particular emphasis on foster youth and young adult victims of crime. Representative recent grants include a $258,744 CoC Program award effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, a $183,780 CoC award effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, a $228,458 CoC award for calendar year 2025, and a $201,662 CoC award for calendar year 2024. The organization also received a longer-duration Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding grant from HUD effective February 17, 2023 through August 31, 2031. In its sub-recipient capacity, Foster Forward delivers SNAP outreach activities under a Rhode Island Department of Human Services sub-award effective November 8, 2021.
Customer concentration is extreme and singular. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 15 of 18 total awards (100% of coverage as reported), with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounting for one award each. Total federal dollars obligated across all awards reached $8.5 million, with the most recent award dated January 1, 2026. Activity has remained relatively flat over the past five years (three awards in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, three in 2025, one in 2026), and three awards face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, exposing the organization to recompete activity on those grants. Foster Forward has held a track record as a HUD CoC Program recipient since 2009 and complements federal funding with state sub-awards to deliver integrated crisis intervention, peer support, and recovery services.
