Organized Community Action Program Inc.

Organized Community Action Program Inc., a Troy, Alabama-based nonprofit organization, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants for early childhood education, rural housing preservation, and community economic development programs, with a secondary role as a sub-recipient under state pass-through grants. The organization operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with no federal contracts in its recent award footprint.

OCAP's prime grant portfolio centers on two core mission areas anchored by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The organization holds a substantial Head Start prime-recipient relationship with HHS/ACF, managing over $31 million in cumulative Head Start funding. Recent prime awards include a $3.4 million Head Start Project Grant from HHS/ACF (CFDA 93.600) issued May 31, 2026, for early childhood education, health, nutritional support, and family engagement services for low-income infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children in Alabama, running through December 31, 2026; a $274,350 Head Start Project Grant from HHS/ACF (CFDA 93.600) covering June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026; and a $287,607 Rural Housing Preservation Grant from USDA Rural Housing Service (CFDA 10.433) issued October 30, 2026, for housing repair and rehabilitation assistance to very low- and low-income rural residents in eligible rural Alabama areas, targeted for completion July 30, 2027. OCAP also received a $118,804 USDA Rural Housing Preservation Grant (CFDA 10.433) running August 26, 2025 to October 26, 2026. Across its prime footprint, OCAP maintains administrative costs below the required 20 percent threshold and has demonstrated capacity in both housing rehabilitation and early childhood program administration.

In its secondary sub-recipient role, OCAP flows federal pass-through grants from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs covering Low-Income Weatherization Assistance (including Weatherization Assistance Program awards), Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) support, and community poverty-alleviation initiatives. Since 2023, OCAP has received thirteen sub-awards under these state-administered programs, with sub-awards focused on home energy cost assistance for low-income households and weatherization improvements in rural and disadvantaged communities.

Customer concentration is tightly held: HHS/ACF (Administration for Children and Families) and HUD together anchor the prime footprint, accounting for 23 awards across 95% of recent volume. USDA Rural Housing Service provides the remaining substantial share. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating modest recompete exposure. Recent activity shows modest but consistent annual volume — one to five awards per year across 2021 to 2026 — with total dollars obligated across all forty awards reaching $161.3 million.
