Threshold COC

Threshold COC, a nonprofit organization based in Omaha, Nebraska, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's homelessness prevention and intervention programs, with no contract footprint.

Threshold COC is a tax-exempt nonprofit entity that receives federal funding to develop and operate community-based housing and supportive services for homeless populations. The organization holds 22 federal grant awards, all from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (100% customer concentration), with combined dollars obligated of $2.2 million. Threshold COC serves as prime recipient on all awards; it does not operate as a subrecipient or contract entity.

The grant portfolio centers on two principal HUD programs: the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). Under CoC awards, Threshold COC delivers five eligible service components — permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) implementation — and may acquire or rehabilitate real property, provide rental assistance (short-term, medium-term, or long-term), fund case management and supportive services, and establish non-congregate shelters and short-term rent and mortgage assistance. Representative CoC awards include $317,886 obligated effective August 27, 2025, through the remainder of fiscal year 2026, and $265,243 effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. Under YHDP, Threshold COC implements a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness, including unaccompanied youth and pregnant or parenting youth; eligible activities mirror CoC components with added emphasis on youth leadership and evaluation of coordinated outcomes. A representative YHDP award runs January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025.

Activity has grown modestly but consistently: two awards per year from 2022 through 2024, then four in 2025 and one in early 2026. Three awards have ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months and will face recompete. Threshold COC collaborates with the City of Omaha on service delivery and serves all work from its Omaha headquarters location.
