ST. Vincent De Paul Cares, Inc.

ST. Vincent De Paul Cares, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in St. Petersburg, Florida, provides emergency residential services, case management, and housing stability support to homeless and at-risk veterans as a federal grant recipient and prime contractor on VA indefinite-delivery contracts. The organization operates as a grant recipient under HUD and VA programs and holds multiple single-award IDIQs with the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The organization's federal funding centers on two primary mission areas: veteran homelessness services and community-wide homelessness intervention. On the contract side, ST. Vincent De Paul Cares holds three active IDIQs with Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (VISN 8) worth a combined ceiling of $13.4 million. The most recent IDIQ, awarded August 3, 2026, carries a $9.3 million ceiling through August 2, 2030, and already generated a $2.5 million delivery order for emergency residential services in St. Petersburg, Florida, completion August 2027. A second IDIQ, awarded September 28, 2022, with a $1.9 million ceiling through June 2027, covers contracted emergency residential services in Port Charlotte, Florida. The third IDIQ, awarded March 29, 2022, with a $2.3 million ceiling through March 28, 2027, procures emergency shelter beds, social work services, and case management in St. Petersburg. All three IDIQs are competed without set-aside designation and fund 30-day emergency residential shelter beds, social work case management, and supportive services aimed at transitioning homeless and at-risk veterans to stable housing. Recent delivery orders under these vehicles include $479 thousand (March 2026), $399 thousand (March 2025), $374 thousand (March 2024), and $358 thousand (March 2023), all firm fixed-price awards to St. Petersburg and Port Charlotte locations.

On the grant side, ST. Vincent De Paul Cares is the primary recipient of substantial federal funding from HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and the VA's Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033). HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 68 CoC awards since the organization's earliest recorded award in 2010. Recent CoC grants in 2026 alone include awards of $810 thousand, $871 thousand, $682 thousand, $472 thousand, $293 thousand, $272 thousand, $361 thousand, $202 thousand, and $138 thousand, with performance periods running through December 2026. The VA's Veterans Health Administration has awarded multiple grants: a $23.15 million SSVF award (CFDA 64.033) for supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Florida through September 2026; two case-management grants under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024) totaling $857 thousand and $842 thousand, both three-year awards running through September 2028; and suicide prevention grants under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055) of $445 thousand and $304 thousand, both for the period October 2025 through September 2026. Additionally, ST. Vincent De Paul Cares received a $300 thousand legal services grant (CFDA 64.056) from VA for providing comprehensive legal services to homeless and at-risk veterans, effective August 2024.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward VA and HUD. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 represents 23 awards carrying the full $24.7 million in documented combined potential value across the contract portfolio. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 68 of 153 total awards but with the majority of dollar value concentrated in VA contract work. The VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families and suicide-prevention grant programs drive recurring annual funding in the $23 million to $25 million range annually.

The organization subcontracts on grant work from HUD CoC grantees and other federal recipients. Sub-award descriptions show ST. Vincent De Paul Cares providing rapid rehousing services, facility improvements, case management, and direct assistance for homelessness prevention and emergency non-congregate shelter across Pinellas, Polk, Seminole, and Lee counties in Florida. Sub-awards documented include facility improvements at the CARES Center and Center of Hope (February 2026), rapid rehousing services (January 2026), operating expenses for the Bridging Families Program (September 2025, November 2024), and emergency solutions grants for COVID-19 response efforts.

Activity has remained steady at 17 to 23 awards annually over the past five years, with 11 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Eighteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry a combined potential value of $3.3 million, representing near-term recompete exposure concentrated in the VA IDIQs and HUD CoC grants. The organization's work is classified under NAICS 624221 (Temporary Shelters) and PSC G004 (Social Rehabilitation). No contract vehicles, GSA schedules, or GWACs are present in the source data; all federal contracting flows through direct VA VISN 8 IDIQs and grant awards from HUD and VA program offices.
