Opportunity House

Opportunity House, a Pennsylvania-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, provides homeless shelter and supportive services for veterans and low-income families as a prime recipient on federal grants and contracts and as a sub-recipient under state-administered federal nutrition and housing programs. The organization competes full-and-open without set-asides across its federal footprint, which spans 149 awards (101 prime, 48 sub) totaling $6.1 million in combined potential value and $14.7 million in combined obligated dollars.

Opportunity House's primary mission centers on transitional and permanent housing, mental health stabilization, substance use disorder treatment, vocational assistance, and permanent housing placement for homeless veterans and vulnerable families. The organization holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 valued at $1.825 million through March 31, 2027, under which VISN 4 has issued four firm fixed-price delivery orders since April 2023: $103,545 (April 2023–March 2024), $174,135 (April 2024–March 2025), $273,750 (April 2025–March 2026), and $287,437.50 (April 2026–March 2027) for Health Care for Homeless Veterans services. All VA contract work is performed in Reading, Pennsylvania. Beyond the VA vehicle, Opportunity House acts as prime recipient on HUD Continuum of Care Program grants (CFDA 14.267) issued by the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, with recent awards in February 2026, October 2025, August 2025, and February 2025 supporting housing and supportive services operations. The organization also received a Supportive Services for Veteran Families grant from the VHA Under Secretary for Health awarded April 6, 2022, and an Economic Development Initiative grant from HUD's Community Planning and Development office awarded August 13, 2024.

Customer concentration is split between two dominant agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 72 awards (99% coverage), primarily Continuum of Care Program grants, while the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 anchors the combined potential-value ranking with 19 awards totaling $6.1 million. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 44 awards, concentrated in sub-recipient pass-through funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Education under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the National School Lunch Program. The Department of Veterans Affairs' Under Secretary for Health and the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime round out the customer base with eight and four awards respectively.

Opportunity House acts as sub-recipient on 48 awards (32% of the footprint), predominantly pass-through CACFP and meal-reimbursement awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, which administers federal nutrition programs to local care facilities. The VA IDC VA24417D0286 generated six task orders totaling $745 thousand, and two additional VA vehicles (IDC 36C24423D0069 with four task orders, $677 thousand, and BPA VA24415A0040 with three task orders, $351 thousand) structure ongoing delivery-order activity. Activity has accelerated year over year—six awards in 2022 through twelve in 2026 year-to-date—with only four awards (combined potential value $287 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating low near-term recompete exposure. NAICS concentration sits in Temporary Shelters (14 awards) and Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities (4 awards), reflecting the core mission.
