About the company
Friendship Shelter, Inc. is a Laguna Beach, California-based non-profit organization that receives federal grant funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to operate comprehensive homelessness intervention and housing services as a prime grant recipient under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267).
Friendship Shelter delivers permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems administration, and homelessness prevention activities. Services include case management, job training, healthcare assistance, temporary shelter operations, and housing placement support, serving over 600 homeless adults annually in the Laguna Beach area. The organization has received seven CoC Program project grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development since 2021, with award values ranging from $392,481 to $746,453 per grant cycle. Recent awards include a $746,453 grant effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, a $670,222 grant for the period December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2025, and a $632,877 grant for the period December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024. The organization also received a one-time sub-award related to shelter improvements dated July 1, 2024.
Customer concentration is singular: HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 96% of recent awards (22 of 23 awards in the source data). Over the past five years, award volume has grown modestly from one award per year in 2021 and 2022 to three awards in 2024, reflecting HUD's annual CoC funding cycle.

Friendship Shelter operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient with no federal contracting footprint and no parent contract vehicle positions; its engagement with federal funding is limited to HUD's Continuum of Care Program grants.
