ST Pauls Community Center

ST Pauls Community Center, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in the domestic shelter sector, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on homelessness intervention and supportive housing, with a secondary footprint as a sub-recipient on emergency assistance grants. The organization has received 30 prime grants and 4 sub-grants across federal sources over the past two decades, with combined dollars obligated of $3.8 million.

ST Pauls Community Center's customer base is highly concentrated in the homelessness-support and veteran-services space. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 21 awards (62% of the organization's recent award portfolio), anchored by five consecutive annual Continuum of Care (CoC) Program project grants awarded on December 1 of each year in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, with ultimate completion dates running through November 2026. The Department of Veterans Affairs represents 8 awards (24% coverage), bringing the top two customers to 85% of recent award activity. ST Pauls holds a seat on the Veterans Affairs Indefinite Delivery Contract V506P3285, from which 8 task orders have been issued.

The organization's capability footprint centers on residential mental health and substance abuse facilities operations (7 awards in the NAICS category), as well as broader homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing activities under the CoC program's five authorized components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention where applicable. As a sub-recipient, ST Pauls has received Emergency Solutions Grants pass-through funding from a higher-level grantor in 2023 and a sub-award designated N-L-24-7LS-1 in November 2024.

Activity levels have been flat to declining in recent years — one award in 2021, one in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2025 — with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and thus entering recompete risk in that window. The organization operates exclusively in the grant-funded social-services space with no contracting vehicle presence and no sub-award positions on federal service contracts.
