About the company
O.c.e.a.n., Inc. (doing business as Ocean), a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Toms River, New Jersey, acts as a prime recipient on federal grants and as a sub-recipient on federal grant pass-throughs, delivering community development and social services to low-income populations across Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May Counties in New Jersey. The organization operates across 56% prime grant awards and 44% sub-recipient awards spanning early childhood education, housing counseling and assistance, energy efficiency retrofitting, food assistance, and aging services.
Ocean's grant portfolio spans eight distinct federal agencies, concentrated primarily in HUD and Department of Health and Human Services programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development and Housing Federal Housing Commissioner account for 46 of 97 total awards (33 and 13 respectively). The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families funds 23 prime awards, and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 14 awards. Together, these three funding lines represent 91% of Ocean's recent federal grant footprint.
Ocean's prime grant work centers on three capability areas. The Head Start program (CFDA 93.600) provides the largest single award: a $3.6 million project grant from HHS Administration for Children and Families awarded July 1, 2026, funding early childhood education and related services through December 31, 2026. HUD's Comprehensive Housing Counseling program supplies recurring funding for housing counseling, pre-purchase education, mortgage delinquency prevention, and foreclosure assistance; recent prime awards under this program ran from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025 and from October 1, 2023 through March 31, 2025. A smaller program, EZ Ride Transportation Services for Veterans through the Administration on Aging, delivered veterans-focused transportation services under a project grant awarded July 15, 2023. Early Head Start programming complemented the Head Start work, with an award running January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023.
Sub-recipient work flows predominantly through the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (35 sub-awards across the data) and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture (10 sub-awards). The NJDCA sub-awards fund low-income household energy assistance, home weatherization and efficiency improvements, and comprehensive community services including health, education, housing rehabilitation, youth support, food assistance, and case management across the three-county service area. NJDA sub-awards fund food assistance programs (CARES Food) executed across multiple quarterly or annual tranches. Sub-award activity has remained steady, with 18 awards in 2023, 9 in 2024, and 8 in 2025, suggesting stable operational throughput rather than growth trajectory. Only one award across the full portfolio carries a completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.
