Gospel, Inc.

Gospel, Inc. (doing business as Restore Workshop), a nonprofit based in Lakeland, Florida, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering housing stabilization, employment training, and community services to homeless and at-risk populations in Polk County, Florida using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

Gospel Inc. is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization with no prime federal contracts, no seats on federal contract vehicles, and no contract subcontracting relationships. The vendor's nine federal awards in the source data are all CDBG sub-awards, making it a grant sub-recipient rather than a contractor. Recent work includes the Beyond Shelter program (awarded October 2024), which provides permanent housing, employment support, healthcare assistance, and community engagement for approximately 43 chronically homeless residents in downtown Lakeland; Gospel Village Renovations (November 2023), addressing the physical rehabilitation of approximately 17 residential units through replacement of wiring, plumbing, flooring, roofing, and bathroom and kitchen installation; the Rental Assistance Program (initial award July 2020, amended December 2022 to a total of $202,500), which uses CDBG COVID-19 funds to help chronically homeless individuals sustain permanent supportive housing; and the Learn to Earn Program (September 2021), an apprenticeship and paid internship initiative operated through the Re-Purpose Art Studio for homeless, at-risk, and low-income participants, with earnings applied toward housing costs and personal income.

Activity across the five-year window is sparse and episodic: one award per year from 2021 through 2024, with two awards in 2020. Combined dollars obligated across all nine awards totals $2.6 million. Gospel Inc. operates solely in the CDBG grant ecosystem and has no exposure to federal procurement, contract vehicles, or contracting relationships. The vendor is not a competitive signal for federal contractors pursuing defense, civilian IT, or federal services work.
