Harmony House Inc.

Harmony House Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned nonprofit based in Akron, Ohio, serves as a prime recipient of HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grants and as a sub-recipient on Emergency Solutions Grants, delivering emergency shelter, transitional housing, and supportive services to homeless young adults aged 18–26 in the Akron community. The organization operates two residential facilities and has received over $1.2 million in federal funding since 2021 under the CoC Program (CFDA 14.267).

Harmony House's federal footprint consists entirely of HUD community development grants rather than federal contracts. As a prime grant recipient, the organization has secured six CoC Program Project Grants totaling approximately $1.1 million across the 2021–2026 period, with the most recent awards including a $545,961 grant effective January 1 through December 31, 2026, and a $165,073 grant running October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. These awards fund establishment and operation of projects across five eligible CoC components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. The organization also functions as a sub-recipient on four grants, including an Emergency Solutions Grant COVID-19 award of $149,712 in fiscal year 2020–2021 (administered through the City of Akron) and three subsequent Emergency Solutions Grant sub-awards (January 31, 2025; June 6, 2025; October 23, 2025) for rapid re-housing administration and emergency shelter and supportive services delivery.

Harmony House's customer concentration is singular — the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 69% of all nine prime awards in the source data. Award activity has grown modestly, from one award in 2022 to four in 2025, with two awards (the October 1, 2024–December 31, 2025 grant and the January 1–December 31, 2026 grant) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across all thirteen prime and sub awards total $2.3 million. As a tax-exempt nonprofit with minority and woman-owned business designations, Harmony House operates exclusively within HUD's CoC and Emergency Solutions Grant programs and has no federal contract footprint.
