Sacramento Cottage Housing, Inc.

Sacramento Cottage Housing, Inc., a Sacramento, California-based nonprofit tax-exempt organization, operates exclusively as a federal grant sub-recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development, delivering permanent supportive housing services for chronically homeless and vulnerable populations. All five recent awards in the source data are federal grant sub-awards; the vendor does not hold prime contracts or IDV seats.

Sacramento Cottage Housing partners with Mercy Housing of California to operate and maintain the Quinn Cottages program, a 60-unit permanent supportive housing facility in Sacramento serving chronically homeless individuals and families. The vendor's role centers on resident services delivery, intake coordination, case management, and operations support aligned with the Housing First model. Units are subsidized through HOME and Tax Credits to cap tenant rent at 30% of income, with no additional cost to the vendor or HUD. The program maintains approximately 95% stable housing or permanent placement outcomes and achieves roughly 80% adult participation in on-site services. Intake processes align with Sacramento County's coordinated entry system, prioritizing chronic homelessness cases.

All funding flows through Sacramento Steps Forward as the prime HUD grant recipient; Sacramento Cottage Housing draws five sub-awards dated September 2021, September 2022, September 2023, January 2025, and August 2025, collectively obligating $1.6 million. Early sub-awards (2021–2022) supported permanent supportive housing for 70 individual adults, couples, or adults with one child; later awards (2023 onward) designated the Quinn Cottages facility at 60 units. The vendor's customer base is singular — HUD Community Planning and Development — with no diversification across other federal agencies or contracting vehicles.
