Our House Inc.

Our House Inc., a tax-exempt domestic shelter and non-profit organization based in Little Rock, Arkansas, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) and complementary workforce and health-focused federal grants, with no federal contract prime awardee footprint.

Our House Inc. operates exclusively in the grant space rather than as a federal contractor. The organization's federal grant portfolio totals $10.9 million across 37 awards spanning nearly two decades, with 78% positioned as prime recipient grants and 22% as sub-recipient awards. The vendor's customer concentration is extreme: the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 27 of 37 awards (97% coverage across the top five customer agencies), with the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management, the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Administration for Children and Families, and the Delta Regional Authority making up the remainder. Recent prime-recipient work centers on consecutive annual Continuum of Care Program project grants from HUD: $169,338 awarded October 1, 2025 (completion September 30, 2026), $162,568 awarded October 1, 2024 (completion September 30, 2025), $162,568 awarded October 1, 2023 (completion September 30, 2024), with consistent annual awards cycling back to 2021. Under these grants, Our House provides case management, job placement, workforce development, mental health treatment, housing assistance, and emergency support to homeless individuals and families in the Little Rock area, coordinating with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas Division of Workforce Services, and Arkansas Department of Human Services.

Our House also participates as a sub-recipient under multiple federal grantees: a Home Together project reducing family homelessness through integrated mental health treatment and supportive services under University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (February 2024 and March 2025 awards); a two-generation wrap-around-services program under Arkansas Department of Human Services (August 2023 and October 2024 awards); and AmeriCorps National Service awards through the State of Arkansas, including a 40-member job-placement program (September 2024) and an 8-member healthcare screening and referral program (September 2024). Activity has accelerated modestly — one to two awards annually through 2023, rising to five in 2024 and three in 2025 — with only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete cliff exposure. Our House's federal footprint reflects its core mission as a shelter and community services organization, with no exposure to federal contracting and complete reliance on HUD's CoC program as the dominant funding source.
