Neighbors Building Neighborhoods, Inc.

Neighbors Building Neighborhoods, Inc. (doing business as Muskogee NON Profit Resource Center) is a non-profit organization based in Muskogee, Oklahoma, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient in rural community development, substance abuse prevention, and historic preservation, with supplementary sub-recipient grant work in opioid and alcohol prevention programs.

The organization operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not federal contracting. Across recent activity, it holds 15 prime federal grants (63% of the 24-award portfolio) and participates as a sub-recipient in 9 grant sub-awards (37%). The organization is not a federal contractor and holds no federal contract vehicles. Over the past five years, grant activity peaked in 2023 with five prime awards and has moderated to one award in 2026 year-to-date, with a combined dollars-obligated total of $15.6 million across all awards since 2017.

The primary funding source is the Department of Health and Human Services (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), which anchors five prime awards focused on opioid and substance misuse prevention in rural eastern Oklahoma. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service supplies six awards for community facility technical assistance and training grants. The Department of Interior National Office funds historic preservation work under the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants Program (CFDA 15.904), and the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service supports a $125,735 cooperative agreement (CFDA 10.175) running through February 2028 to eliminate marketing barriers for the transition from methyl bromide to vacuum and steam treatment technology for export logs.

Representative prime grant work includes a SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Prevention project grant awarded September 30, 2022 (ultimate completion September 29, 2027) addressing opioid-focused prevention, prescription drug diversion, and education across a four-county rural region in eastern Oklahoma (Haskell, McIntosh, Muskogee, and Pittsburg counties) with Cherokee Nation, Muskogee CAN, and county sheriff's departments as key partners. A second SAMHSA grant awarded September 30, 2023 (ultimate completion September 29, 2027) funds the Muskogee CAN STOP ACT project to address youth underage drinking and vaping prevention in Muskogee County. Neighbors Building Neighborhoods also serves as a pass-through sub-recipient under grants from the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and Emory University for community-based prevention services in alcohol, opioid, and stimulant abuse across multiple counties.

Four prime awards are completing within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete in that window. Across the portfolio, nine distinct customer agencies are served, with SAMHSA and the Rural Utilities Service representing the largest concentration of recent award activity. The organization's federal footprint is non-competitive, grant-focused, and concentrated in rural community health and infrastructure development in Oklahoma.
