Homeward Alliance Inc.

Homeward Alliance Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Fort Collins, Colorado, operates as a recipient of federal grants focused on homelessness prevention, housing support, and related services, with both prime grant awards and sub-recipient roles under HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) program.

Homeward Alliance's federal footprint is concentrated in HUD's Continuum of Care program (CFDA 14.267), which funds efforts to end homelessness by supporting permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and prevention activities. As a prime recipient, Homeward Alliance has received seven CoC project grants since 2022, including a $120,000 award for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, and earlier grants awarded on a recurring annual cycle (September 1 start dates in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025). In its sub-recipient role, Homeward Alliance has received seven federal grant sub-awards since June 2023, with work including tenancy support services for approximately five households in the Frequent Utilizers System Engagement program in Larimer County, emergency shelter and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) services, McKinney-Vento supportive services, street outreach, rapid rehousing, and data collection. One sub-award for ELC COVID homelessness and congregate settings support was issued in June 2023 by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (a sub-recipient relationship rather than direct HUD funding).

Customer concentration reflects a narrow federal footprint. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for seven awards (50% of the prime and sub pool); the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accounts for one award. Over the past four years, activity has grown from one award in 2022 to six in 2024, with four awards reaching completion dates within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all prime and sub awards total $1.4 million. Homeward Alliance operates with partnerships spanning the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the City of Fort Collins, and the City of Loveland, leveraging local government resources to expand service capacity in the Fort Collins, Colorado area. The organization has not held federal prime contracts and does not sit on GSA Schedules, GWACs, or other contract vehicles — its federal activity is exclusively grant-based.
