Instituto Pre-Vocacional E Industrial De P.r. Inc.

Instituto Pre-Vocacional E Industrial De P.R. Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned nonprofit and community development corporation based in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, receives federal grants as a primary recipient (55% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient under Continuum of Care and victim services programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice. The organization operates as a tax-exempt entity and holds concurrent CoC grants from HUD focused on homeless assistance, housing stabilization, and supportive services delivery across Puerto Rico.

Instituto Pre-Vocacional's federal footprint concentrates almost entirely in HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The organization has received eleven prime grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development since 2022, with recent awards including $218,904 (awarded September 1, 2026, performance through August 31, 2027), $461,984 (awarded December 1, 2025, performance through November 30, 2026), $428,638 (awarded December 1, 2024, performance through November 30, 2025), and comparable grants on annual or multi-month cycles dating back to 2022. Each award supports eligible activities across the five COC program components: permanent housing including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) operations, and homelessness prevention. Funded activities include COC planning costs, United Funding Agency fiscal oversight, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction. Performance takes place at 442 Av. Juan Rosado, Suite 1, Arecibo, Puerto Rico.

Instituto Pre-Vocacional also operates as a sub-recipient under victim services and emergency management programs. Sub-awards from the Puerto Rico Department of Justice include shelter operations for women and children victims of crime (CAPROMUNI programs in Arecibo and Mayaguez) and male crime victim shelter services; sub-awards from the Puerto Rico Department of Health fund STRMU (Supportive Services and Rapid Rehousing Management Unit) operations; the Municipio de San Juan has passed through STRMU and supportive services funding; and the Governor's Authorized Representative has awarded emergency protective measures and debris removal sub-grants following declared disasters. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 91% of the organization's recent award count (21 of 33 awards), with the Department of Justice Victims of Crime Office (4 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (3 awards), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance (2 awards) providing the balance. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $11.8 million across 33 awards spanning multiple agencies over the past five years. Activity contracted from eleven awards in 2024 to six in 2025, with only one award recorded in 2026. Two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, triggering recompete exposure for those CoC grants.
