Meeting The Needs Of Our Community, Inc.

Meeting The Needs Of Our Community, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for homeless services, veteran housing support, and HIV/AIDS housing assistance, operating exclusively in the U.S. Virgin Islands territory. The organization competes in full-and-open federal grant competitions across HUD and VA programs without pursuit of set-aside certifications.

The recipient's capability portfolio centers on three concrete service delivery areas. Under HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) program, the organization operates permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families; recent annual CoC project grants (fiscal years 2022 through 2026) have funded housing operations and outreach infrastructure. The recipient manages a Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) formula grant from HUD worth $1.51 million (award date September 26, 2023, through September 25, 2026), supporting leasing of 28 housing units, short-term rental and utility assistance for 14 households, and supportive services for 60 households with HIV/AIDS. Under the Department of Veterans Affairs Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program (CFDA 64.033), the organization provides case management, outreach, VA benefits assistance, and temporary financial assistance for housing, utilities, childcare, and transportation to very low-income veteran families experiencing homelessness or housing instability; multiple SSVF project grants since 2021 have carried individual awards of $262 thousand to $644 thousand, with the most recent award ($592,338) effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Customer concentration is highly concentrated: HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development issued 36 of 50 total awards (72%); the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration issued 14 awards (28%). The two funders track closely in both award volume and dollars obligated. Across the past five award years, activity has remained flat at four to five awards per year, with combined obligated dollars totaling $14.1 million. Five awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing the recipient to recompete risk in the 2026–2027 cycle as CoC and SSVF grants cycle for renewal. The recipient operates no federal contracts and holds no prime or subcontractor positions on IDIQs, GWACs, or agency vehicles; all federal funding flows through direct HUD and VA grant programs serving island-based populations with critical housing and supportive service needs.
