Grace House

Grace House, Inc. is a Mississippi-based nonprofit organization that serves as a prime recipient of federal housing and homelessness-services grants, with supplementary activity as a sub-recipient on pass-through grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The organization operates 16 facility-based housing units in Jackson and delivers permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and tenant-based rental assistance to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with specialized programming for persons living with HIV/AIDS.

Grace House's federal footprint is concentrated in a single customer agency. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for all 30 awards in the source data (77% of total activity), split between prime and sub-recipient roles. The organization holds prime recipient status on multiple HUD grants under two principal programs: the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program (CFDA 14.241). Recent prime grants include a $611,164 CoC Project Grant effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, and a $1.266 million HOPWA Formula Grant effective April 2024 through April 2027 supporting facility-based housing, tenant-based rental assistance, permanent housing placement, and short-term rent, mortgage, and utility assistance to 15 households annually. Grace House also receives sub-awards passed through Mississippi Home Corporation and other state entities on HOPWA and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs, supporting shelter, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and supportive services delivery since at least 2021.

Award activity has remained relatively stable over the past five years (three to four awards annually from 2022 through 2026), with combined dollars obligated at $23.7 million across 39 total awards since 2008. Only one award is scheduled to complete in the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Grace House operates as a 54% prime / 46% sub-recipient split across its federal portfolio, indicating established direct grant management capability alongside pass-through sub-recipient arrangements with state housing authorities. The organization's mission and funding profile position it as a specialized provider within HUD's homelessness and housing-stability ecosystem rather than a federal contractor or vendor-services supplier.
