Sojourner House, Inc.

Sojourner House, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in North Providence, Rhode Island, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering comprehensive victim services, emergency and transitional housing, and trauma-informed support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and individuals experiencing homelessness. The organization receives federal funding across multiple domestic-violence and homelessness grant programs as a prime grant recipient (51% of awards) and as a sub-recipient (49% of awards), with no federal contracts in the prime or sub footprint.

Sojourner House's capability portfolio centers on emergency shelter and housing programs, case management, crisis intervention, safety planning, legal assistance (including immigration legal aid), counseling, and wraparound supportive services for vulnerable populations in Rhode Island. On the housing and homelessness front, the organization is a recurring recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which funds permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). On the victim-services side, Sojourner House holds awards under the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women for legal assistance and transitional housing programs, and under the Office of Victims of Crime for services to trafficking victims and individuals with disabilities. Representative prime grants include a $1.325 million CoC award from HUD for fiscal year 2026 (January–December 2026) supporting five program components across Providence; a $499,609 Project Grant from the Office of Victims of Crime effective October 2025 through September 2028 for a pet-friendly transitional housing and shelter program addressing the link between domestic violence and animal abuse; a $960,123 Services for Trafficking Victims grant (CFDA 16.320) running October 2024 through September 2027 for housing and support services statewide; a $500,000 Transitional Housing Assistance Grant from OVW (CFDA 16.736) for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking through September 2026; and a $400,000 Legal Assistance for Victims grant (CFDA 16.524) from OVW running October 2023 through September 2025 for civil and criminal legal services to adult and youth victims.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to victim-services and homelessness funders. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development anchors the footprint with 40 awards; the Department of Justice's Office of Victims of Crime (18 awards) and Office on Violence Against Women (9 awards) provide the second and third tiers; HHS's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (6 awards) and Administration for Children and Families (5 awards) round out the top five, together covering 73% of awards. However, the potential-value ranking diverges significantly — while HUD's CoC awards represent the largest dollar concentration, the source reports combined potential value across all 107 awards (prime and sub) at only $5,000, with combined obligated dollars at $28.5 million, indicating that the portfolio is heavily obligated and near completion or actively invoiced rather than speculative. This inverted ratio (obligated far exceeding potential value) signals mature, in-execution programming rather than pending task orders.

Activity has grown year over year through 2024 and 2025 — from 16 awards in 2022 to 26 in 2025 — with 11 awards recorded through mid-2026. Ten awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure. Sojourner House also operates as a sub-recipient under state-level pass-throughs; sub-award activity includes services-delivery sub-grants from the Rhode Island Department of Public Safety, Department of Health, and Department of Human Services, and coordination arrangements with the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants for trafficking victim case management. The organization's federal footprint is exclusively grant-funded, reflecting its nonprofit operational model and focus on direct victim services rather than IT, facilities, or administrative contracting.
