Housing Opportunities & People Enterprises, Inc.

Housing Opportunities & People Enterprises, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Huntsville, Tennessee, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (COC) program, designing and delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. The organization has received 23 federal awards since 2007, all as prime recipients under the COC program (CFDA 14.267), with no subcontractor or sub-recipient footprint in the source data.

Housing Opportunities & People Enterprises serves exclusively the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, accounting for 100% of its federal award activity. Recent COC awards include project grants issued April 1, 2026 (completion March 31, 2027), April 1, 2025 (completion March 31, 2026), and April 1, 2024 (completion March 31, 2025). The organization has held consistent annual COC funding across the past five fiscal years — one award per year from 2022 through 2026 — reflecting steady-state federal support for homelessness prevention and housing operations in its service area.

Combined dollars obligated across all 23 awards since 2007 total $571 thousand, indicating modest annual grant amounts characteristic of regional COC allocations. One award is scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months (the 2025 grant expiring March 31, 2026), triggering a recompete opportunity for the upcoming fiscal cycle. The organization operates exclusively within the federal grant economy — not federal contracting — and holds no position on government-wide acquisition vehicles or blanket purchase agreements.
