Resources For Human Development, Inc.

Resources For Human Development, Inc., doing business as RHD, is a Philadelphia-based tax-exempt nonprofit that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants in homeless services, behavioral health, and community healthcare, with a secondary footprint as a sub-recipient under state and local grantees. RHD operates through its Business Development Group division and competes predominantly in the federal grant space rather than contracts.

RHD's capability portfolio centers on permanent and transitional housing for homeless individuals and families, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homelessness prevention, mobile crisis response diversion from law enforcement and jails, medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, maternal and reproductive health services, colorectal cancer screening, and community mental health and substance abuse treatment. The organization operates more than sixty programs across multiple states and serves vulnerable populations including those experiencing homelessness, opioid use disorder, mental health crises, and healthcare barriers in low-income communities.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which accounts for 119 of 156 prime awards (76% of the prime footprint) under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). Recent HUD CoC awards include $1.868 million, $1.329 million, $515 thousand, and $416 thousand for homeless services in Philadelphia, all awarded November 1, 2025, with performance periods extending through October 31, 2026. A second cluster of awards spans the Department of Health and Human Services, split between the Bureau of Primary Health Care (12 awards for school-based family planning, maternal health quality improvement, COVID-19 vaccination expansion, and accelerating cancer screening) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (11 awards including a mobile comprehensive opioid recovery center grant for Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, dated July 15, 2024). RHD also acts as sub-recipient under Thomas Jefferson University for mobile crisis response cooperative agreements, under Delaware Department of Health and Social Services for community mental health services and substance-use prevention, and under the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for suicide prevention lifeline call-center workforce funding. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Northeast Regional Office together account for $3.785 million in combined potential value across twelve awards, though these represent a small fraction of total award count.

Recent activity shows nine awards in 2022, eleven in 2023, thirteen in 2024, eleven in 2025, and three in 2026, reflecting sustained engagement with a mix of annual recompete cycles and multi-year cooperative agreements. Four awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore carry recompete risk. RHD's obligated dollars ($250.6 million cumulative) substantially exceed combined potential value, indicating mature funding streams with invoiced performance. The vendor operates across Pennsylvania (Philadelphia and Montgomery County primary hubs), Delaware, New Orleans, and additional service areas nationwide through its network of community health centers, substance abuse treatment providers, housing operations, and crisis response teams. RHD frequently partners as both prime and sub-recipient with local government, state health and human services departments, university health systems, federally qualified health center networks, and nonprofit healthcare providers such as Family Practice and Counseling Network, which it operates as a subordinate health center network.
