Putnam / Northern Westchester Women's Resource Center

Putnam / Northern Westchester Women's Resource Center is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that operates as a federal grant recipient, delivering domestic violence shelter and homeless services under HUD's Continuum of Care program and victim services programs administered by New York State agencies acting as pass-through grantees. The organization splits evenly between prime grant awards (50% of recent work) and sub-awards from state agencies (50%), with no federal contracting footprint.

The organization's grant portfolio centers on homelessness and domestic violence services in the Hudson Valley region. As a prime recipient, Putnam / Northern Westchester Women's Resource Center holds four HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) awards from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2026. The most recent prime award, issued October 1, 2025, carries $273,895 and funds comprehensive housing and supportive services including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing assistance, transitional housing, and case management services through September 30, 2026. Work is performed in Mahopac, New York and serves vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness and housing instability, with eligible activities including rental assistance, housing relocation services, stabilization support, and specialized assistance for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

In its sub-recipient role, the organization operates under pass-through funding from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services' STOP Domestic and Sexual Violence Program (two sub-awards in April 2022 and March 2023), the New York State Office of Victim Services' Victim Assistance Program (one sub-award in October 2024), and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (one sub-award in September 2025). Federal customer concentration runs through HUD and the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (two sub-awards) via state intermediaries; HUD accounts for four awards and the DOJ violence-prevention programs for three. Combined federal obligated dollars across all eight awards total $1.8 million, with activity holding flat at two awards per year from 2022 through 2025. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete exposure.
