About the company
Sarah's Circle, a Chicago-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, is a federal grant recipient that delivers permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services to homeless individuals and families in the Chicago metropolitan area, operating exclusively as a grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267).
Sarah's Circle operates in a single-customer environment: all 47 prime grant awards and 14 sub-awards in the source data flow from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, representing 100% of the organization's federal funding footprint. The most recent award, issued June 1, 2026, grants $804,867 for Continuum of Care eligible activities including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and homeless management information systems (HMIS), with performance in Chicago, Illinois and a period of performance running through May 31, 2027. Earlier COC awards issued September 1, 2023, March 1, 2023, and February 1, 2023 followed the same grant structure. Sarah's Circle has been a recurring COC recipient since at least 2020, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $9.6 million.
The organization's sub-award activity reflects secondary funding streams within the broader HUD portfolio. Sub-awards captured between August 2025 and January 2022 include $150,000 for salary and benefits supporting the Senior Director of Finance and Properties and Director of Property Management and Maintenance (August 2025), affordable housing development support (April 2024), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funding for housing and economic opportunity work (January 2024), domestic violence services (January 2023), and homeless shelter and supportive services (January 2022). The CDBG sub-awards indicate Sarah's Circle also receives pass-through funding from HUD's community development mechanism in addition to its direct COC grants.
Award volume peaked in 2022–2023 with seven to eight awards annually, then declined to four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. One award reaches ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. Sarah's Circle operates as a pure HUD recipient with no federal contracts, no general-purpose acquisition vehicle seats, and no commercial contracting footprint — its federal engagement is entirely grant-based, focused on homelessness prevention and housing stability in the Chicago region.
