Fundacion De Desarrollo Comunal De Puerto Rico, Inc.

Fundacion De Desarrollo Comunal De Puerto Rico, Inc., doing business as Fundesco, is a Puerto Rico-based nonprofit community development corporation that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants supporting homelessness intervention and community development programs, with 72% of its recent awards as prime grants and 28% as sub-recipient grants under federal grantor agencies.

Fundesco's grant portfolio concentrates almost entirely on the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD accounts for 28 of the vendor's 39 total awards (74% coverage), all under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), with a single FEMA award rounding out the customer base. Fundesco receives annual CoC project grants directly from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development to provide comprehensive homelessness services across Caguas and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Recent prime grant awards include a $308,920 CoC Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, a $287,096 CoC award dated October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025, and a $282,171 CoC grant awarded October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024. Through these awards, Fundesco delivers permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, shelter operations, outreach services, case management, homeless management information systems (HMIS) support, and homelessness prevention activities. The organization collaborates with the Puerto Rico Department of the Family, Caguas Municipality, and the Municipality of San Juan to implement federally funded services.

Fundesco also functions as a sub-recipient under federal grants, with eleven sub-awards spanning capacity-building, facility improvements, and direct services. Recent sub-award activity includes a June 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sub-award for facility removal, roof treatment, door replacement, and solar heater installation at the El Camino homeless shelter in Caguas; a May 2026 CDBG sub-award for shelter maintenance at Villas del Peregrino; a March 2026 CDBG sub-award for interior and exterior painting and roof treatment at El Salvador-Posada de Jesus; and an August 2025 sub-award of $50,000 supporting staff time, consultants, and computer equipment for social housing assistance. An earlier July 2023 sub-award provided $35,000 for accounting consulting and website development as capacity-building activities.

Activity has remained relatively modest and flat — one award in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $7.9 million. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure in that window. Fundesco's operations are confined to Puerto Rico, with no federal contract prime work and no presence on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs.
