Mountain Cap Of West Virginia Inc A CDC

Mountain Cap Of West Virginia Inc A CDC is a tax-exempt community development corporation based in Buckhannon, West Virginia, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on homelessness prevention, housing stability, workforce development, and poverty alleviation across rural and distressed West Virginia communities. The organization acts almost entirely as a sub-recipient (89% of recent awards), receiving pass-through funding from state agencies and federal grantors rather than holding prime grant awards directly.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on establishing and operating homeless housing and supportive services projects, including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services delivery under HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). Mountain Cap also administers sub-recipient funding flowing through state agencies for Emergency Solutions Grant Program activities and Supportive Services for Veteran Families programs. Beyond homelessness services, the organization carries out community capacity building and organizational leadership development through Appalachian Regional Commission grants, home weatherization assistance for low-income families under the Weatherization Assistance Program, emergency heating assistance, community services block grant operations focused on poverty alleviation, and child and adult care food program (CACFP) meal and cash-in-lieu reimbursement administration. Recent prime grant work includes a $185,072 HUD Continuum of Care award (August 2026, CFDA 14.267) for homeless housing and supportive services projects running through July 2027, and a $500,000 Appalachian Regional Commission award (October 2025, CFDA 23.002) for community capacity building and organizational leadership development through September 2026.

Customer concentration is dominated by state-level pass-through grantors rather than direct federal relationships. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 46 awards (primarily CACFP reimbursement sub-awards flowing through the West Virginia Department of Education), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families supplies 21 awards, the Department of Energy provides 19 awards (weatherization assistance sub-awards), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development supplies 6 direct prime awards. These four agencies account for 84% of recent award volume. Mountain Cap's sub-award portfolio is heavily concentrated in CACFP meal and cash-in-lieu reimbursement awards from the West Virginia Department of Education (dozens of small recurring awards across 2022–2026), weatherization assistance and community services block grant sub-awards from the West Virginia Division of Economic Development, emergency heating assistance and family support center operations from the West Virginia Department of Human Services, and Emergency Solutions Grant Program and Supportive Services for Veteran Families sub-awards flowing through state agencies.

Activity has grown substantially year over year: seven awards in 2022 to 25 in 2024 to 35 in 2025, with 23 awards through September 2026. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, signaling minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor does not hold federal contracts, GWACs, BPAs, or other contract vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based, routed through HUD (Continuum of Care, CFDA 14.267; Emergency Solutions Grant Program; Supportive Services for Veteran Families), the Appalachian Regional Commission (Appalachian Area Development, CFDA 23.002), the Department of Energy (Weatherization Assistance Program), the Department of Health and Human Services (Community Services Block Grant, CFDA 93.569), and the Department of Agriculture (Child and Adult Care Food Program, CFDA 10.558), with place of performance centered in Buckhannon and subordinate operations across West Virginia counties including Braxton, Upshur, and Kanawha.
