Neighborhood House, Incorporated

Neighborhood House, Incorporated, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Seattle, Washington, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering community-based workforce development, substance-abuse prevention, early childhood education, immigration services, and integrated behavioral health programs to low-income, immigrant, refugee, and communities of color populations across the Seattle and King County region.

Neighborhood House holds 45 prime federal grant awards (65% of its recent federal footprint) and participates as a sub-recipient on 24 grant sub-awards, predominantly from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture. The organization's customer concentration is driven by HHS agencies: the Administration for Children and Families (10 awards, anchored by Head Start and Early Head Start grants through the Office of Head Start with ultimate completion dates extending through December 2029), SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention and Center for Mental Health Services (6 and 5 awards respectively), and USCIS (4 awards). The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 21 awards, the bulk of which are sub-awards for child nutrition program administration and reimbursement support flowing through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Across all 18 distinct customer agencies, these top five account for 67% of recent award volume, with combined dollars obligated reaching $390.2 million since 1998.

Representative prime grant work includes a $275,000 Employment and Training Administration WIOA Employment Program grant (awarded June 2023, completed May 2025) connecting low-income, primarily BIPOC and immigrant-refugee job seekers in Seattle and King County with job training, soft skills development, resume assistance, and wraparound support such as childcare and transportation cost coverage. Neighborhood House also holds a September 2026 SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention Project STOP grant addressing underage drinking prevention among youth ages 12–20 across central, southeast, and southwest Seattle and the cities of Auburn and Burien through community coalition building, family skills training, and environmental strategy implementation (completion September 2029). An October 2022 USCIS grant funds the organization's 25-year-old citizenship program, providing free citizenship instruction and naturalization application services to legal permanent residents in Seattle and South King County, with focus on populations from Afghanistan, Iraq, Burma, and Ethiopia and those with the highest needs. Neighborhood House also holds a September 2022 SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services grant funding the Community Outreach, Referral and Engagement (CORE) program, which integrates HIV, viral hepatitis, and mental health and substance-use disorder treatment services for Black and Latinx adults age 18 and older in partnership with Public Health Seattle–King County and behavioral health treatment providers (completion September 2026).

On the sub-recipient side, Neighborhood House participates in Department of Agriculture child nutrition program sub-awards through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction (ten awards in 2023–2024 cycles) and in refugee social services sub-awards through the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (two awards documented in 2022 and 2023, with an additional ORIA Prime Program sub-award as of October 2025). The organization does not hold federal contracts or contract parent vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based. Activity per year has declined from a peak of 12 awards in 2023 to three in 2025, with only one award documented in 2026 (the Project STOP grant awarded September 30, 2026). Only one award reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete activity in the immediate pipeline.
