About the company
North Lawndale Employment Network, a Chicago-based nonprofit community development corporation and minority-owned, woman-owned business, operates exclusively as a grant sub-recipient on federal workforce and community development programs, with no prime contracting footprint. The organization holds no federal contract vehicles and no contract prime awards; all six recent federal awards are sub-awards under grant programs, placing North Lawndale in a capacity-building or service-delivery role beneath primary grant recipients.
North Lawndale's federal grant work concentrates in two program areas: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) sub-awards and Workforce Services sub-awards. Three sub-awards issued in 2024 are documented as CDBG sub-grants, supporting the program's focus on viable urban communities, decent housing, and economic opportunity expansion for low- and moderate-income populations — consistent with North Lawndale's community development mission in its South Homan Avenue location on Chicago's west side. Three additional sub-awards from 2023 are classified as Workforce Services, indicating engagement in job training, placement, or employment support activities typical of DOL-funded workforce development grants. The combined federal dollars obligated across all six sub-awards total $511 thousand, reflecting the limited scale of North Lawndale's current federal grant footprint and its role as a sub-recipient channeling federal resources into hyperlocal community and workforce programming rather than as a primary grantee.
Activity has remained flat — three sub-awards per year in both 2023 and 2024 — with the most recent sub-award dated January 1, 2024. The source does not identify the named prime recipients (pass-through entities) issuing these sub-awards, the specific federal grantor agencies, or CFDA numbers associated with the Workforce Services sub-awards, limiting visibility into the fuller grant chain and the specific federal programs leveraging North Lawndale's ground-level implementation capacity. North Lawndale's nonprofit structure, community development corporation status, and minority/woman ownership designations position it as a community-based organization focused on direct service delivery rather than as a federal contractor pursuing prime or subcontract roles in commercial procurement.
