Newburgh Interfaith Emergency Housing, Inc.

Newburgh Interfaith Emergency Housing, Inc., operating as Project L.i.f.e., is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Newburgh, New York, that serves as a federal grant recipient delivering homeless services and supportive housing to individuals and families in the Newburgh area. The organization is designated as a minority-owned and Black American-owned nonprofit entity, and operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a prime or subcontractor on federal contracts.

Project L.i.f.e.'s entire federal footprint derives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), administered through HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The organization has received annual CoC Project Grants for the past several years, most recently a $186,860 award for the calendar year 2026 covering January 1 through December 31, 2026. Prior awards span 2022 through 2025, each also aligned to the calendar-year funding cycle. Across six documented awards, the organization has obligated approximately $1 million in combined federal funding.

Under CoC Program authority, Project L.i.f.e. delivers rapid rehousing, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, case management services, and emergency shelter operations designed to facilitate quick transition into stable permanent housing while promoting self-sufficiency. The organization leverages CoC funding to address homelessness through evidence-based interventions including homeless management information systems support, supportive services only, and homelessness prevention activities that minimize trauma and dislocation while facilitating access to mainstream programs. Activity has remained steady at one award per year over the 2022–2026 period. One award (the 2026 grant) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete in that window. The organization holds no position on federal contracts, IDVs, BPAs, or GWACs, and operates entirely within the community-based homeless services ecosystem rather than as a commercial federal contractor or subcontractor.
