About Housing Families First
Housing Families First, a Richmond, Virginia-based nonprofit community development corporation and domestic shelter operator, receives federal grants as a prime recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), delivering emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and intensive case management to homeless individuals and families in the Richmond metropolitan area.
Housing Families First operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not as a federal contractor. The organization is tax-exempt and holds no federal contracts or contract vehicles. All twenty prime federal awards and six sub-awards tracked in recent source data flow through HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development — the sole federal customer. The organization holds 77% of its recent awards as a prime recipient and 23% as a sub-recipient of emergency solutions grants funding.
The organization's grant-funded capability portfolio centers on rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention within a low-barrier Housing First framework. Representative prime CoC awards include a $334,030 project grant obligated December 1, 2025 (ultimate completion November 30, 2026), a $281,403 project grant from December 1, 2024 (ultimate completion November 30, 2025), and a $263,955 project grant from December 1, 2023 (ultimate completion November 30, 2024). Housing Families First also received a Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program project grant obligated October 1, 2023 (ultimate completion September 30, 2026), expanding its scope to unaccompanied youth and pregnant or parenting youth experiencing homelessness. Sub-award funding supports operations of the Hilliard House emergency shelter, which accommodates up to 50 families at a time and holds ADA full accessibility, and the Building Neighbors rapid rehousing program, which provides housing-focused case management, financial assistance, and connections to mainstream resources. Funding obligated across all awards totals $6.5 million across twenty-six awards since 2007.
Activity shows modest annual volume — two awards obligated in 2025, two in 2024, three in 2023, two in 2022, and one in 2021. Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will require recompete or renewal. The organization does not appear in federal contractor databases and does not pursue set-asides or compete for full-and-open procurements; its federal footprint remains narrowly focused on HUD homelessness-assistance grant programs serving Richmond-area vulnerable populations.
