Gay Men's Health Crisis, Inc.

Gay Men's Health Crisis, Inc. (doing business as Gay Mens Health Crisis) is a New York City-based nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and subrecipient to deliver homelessness intervention, HIV/AIDS housing and care services, and substance use disorder treatment to underserved and vulnerable populations in New York City.

GMHC operates exclusively in the federal grant space, holding no federal contracts. The organization is a tax-exempt nonprofit entity headquartered at 307 W 38th Street in New York. Its federal footprint centers on community health and social services delivery, with recent awards clustered in permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, case management, rental assistance, job training, and substance abuse treatment for individuals experiencing homelessness or living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates GMHC's customer base, accounting for 19 of 46 awards (covering 87% of award count) through the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). GMHC holds recurring CoC grants running calendar-year or fiscal-year cycles; representative recent awards include a $1.78 million Project Grant for April 2026 through March 2027, a $1.86 million award for January through December 2026, and a $1.77 million award for calendar year 2025. The Department of Health and Human Services furnishes the remainder of GMHC's prime grant portfolio — the Health Resources and Services Administration (7 awards), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (5 awards), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (4 awards). GMHC also holds a five-year Minority AIDS Initiative Project Grant from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CFDA not specified in source) awarded September 30, 2023, running through September 29, 2028, under which GMHC delivers behavioral health and recovery support services to racial and ethnic medically underserved individuals with substance use disorders at risk for or living with HIV, serving 1,200 individuals across the EHE priority jurisdiction in New York (Bronx, Kings, New York, and Queens counties) in close collaboration with Housing Works.

GMHC functions as a subrecipient on ten federal grants, primarily through the City of New York (Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS, or HOPWA program) and the Corporation for Supportive Housing (Health Resources and Services Administration's SURE Housing initiative for rapid rehousing). Subrecipient work includes permanent supportive housing delivery (36 to 50 units at different periods), case management, and supportive services for persons with HIV/AIDS and low-income individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Awards per year remained flat at two to eight awards annually over the past five years, with only three awards scheduled for completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Combined potential value across all awards is reported as $50 thousand; however, obligated dollars total $45.8 million, reflecting the significance of the underlying grant portfolio relative to the potential-value reporting convention used in the source.
