About the company
Northwest Counseling Service Inc., a Philadelphia-based nonprofit minority-owned and woman-owned business, delivers housing counseling and community health outreach services to federal agencies exclusively as a grant sub-recipient rather than as a prime contractor or grantee. The organization has no federal contract footprint and operates entirely within the federal grant space, where it performs work downstream of federal grantor agencies through state and local intermediaries.
Northwest Counseling's federal activity centers on housing counseling services funded through HUD's Housing Counselor program. The vendor acts as a sub-recipient under prime grants administered by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, which passes HUD funding through to community-based organizations. Recent housing counseling sub-awards span August 2024, August 2025, and February 2026, with a sub-award dated October 2024 specifying $62,437 in CHC (Community Housing Counselor) program funding and $227,064 in MSI (Mortgage Servicing Industry) program support. Beyond housing, Northwest Counseling received a February 2022 sub-award from the Pennsylvania Department of Health for COVID-19 vaccination outreach efforts, indicating work in public health emergency response.
Customer concentration is narrow. HUD, through its Housing Counselor program, accounts for three of the eight awards in the source data, while the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention represents one award. The remaining four awards (shown in the sub-award listing) carry government descriptions that reference "Housing Counseling" without attribution to a specific federal grantor agency, though the housing-program pattern and Pennsylvania intermediaries suggest HUD Housing Counselor funding. Combined obligated dollars across all eight awards total $852 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of community-based sub-recipients in federal grant networks.
Activity has expanded modestly, with one award in each of 2022 and 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026 year to date. The vendor operates exclusively in a sub-recipient posture — zero prime awards — meaning it has no independent federal relationship and no direct contracting authority. No federal contract vehicle participation is present; the entire footprint is grant sub-award work flowing through state intermediaries. Geographic scope is limited to Pennsylvania, where the organization operates out of a Philadelphia address and partners with state administering agencies for both housing and health funding streams.
