Unemployment Information Center

Unemployment Information Center, a nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, operates as both a prime recipient and subrecipient of federal housing grants, delivering housing counseling services under HUD programs. The organization has received six federal awards since 2008, split evenly between prime and sub roles, with a combined obligation total of $475 thousand across all awards. Activity has been intermittent — one award per year in recent cycles (2023, 2024, 2025) after longer gaps in the prior decade — with three consecutive annual housing counseling sub-awards dated October 1 in 2023, 2024, and 2025.

All recent award activity concentrates with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner office, which accounts for 50% of documented awards. The organization's federal footprint centers on housing counseling delivery as a subrecipient under HUD grant programs, with no active presence as a prime on IDIQs, GWACs, or agency-wide vehicles, and no federal contract prime or sub work documented in the source. The modest obligated-dollar total ($475 thousand across six awards) and the annual cyclical pattern suggest that HUD housing counseling represents the organization's primary federal revenue stream, delivered through recurring sub-award cycles rather than through sustained multi-year contract vehicles or larger grant awards.
