About the company
Step Up On Second Street, Inc., a Santa Monica-based tax-exempt nonprofit, operates as a prime contractor and federal grant recipient delivering permanent supportive housing, case management, housing placement, and outreach services to homeless populations, predominantly veterans, across the greater Los Angeles area through firm fixed-price contracts and Continuum of Care program grants with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Step Up On Second Street competes on full-and-open solicitations with no set-aside designations, operating a vertically integrated service-delivery model built on the Housing First model with no material subcontracting footprint on federal service contracts. The organization serves as a prime recipient on HUD Continuum of Care (CFDA 14.267) grants and holds three indefinite delivery contracts with VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 valued at up to $60 million combined, issued through March 1, 2024, September 21, 2023, and April 1, 2022. Recent contract work includes a $13.381 million HUD-VASH delivery order (September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2027) for permanent supportive housing and case management serving approximately 202 veterans; a $2.289 million HUD-VASH case management delivery order (September 21, 2024 through September 20, 2025); and a $1.272 million Enhanced Use Lease Project-Based Voucher delivery order (March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027). Grant work anchors on the Continuum of Care Program, with nine recent CoC awards totaling approximately $11.6 million across fiscal years 2024–2026, including a $3.993 million grant (November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026) and a $3.071 million grant (November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2025).
Step Up On Second Street's customer base remains concentrated with two agencies: the VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (45 awards, $166.9 million combined potential value) and the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (49 awards) account for 97 percent of recent awards. The VA dominates dollar value; HUD places more individual awards reflecting multiple fiscal-year grant cycles. The organization manages active task orders under five parent vehicles, including two VA HUD-VASH indefinite delivery contracts carrying the bulk of potential value—IDC 36C26223D0087 carries $53 million in combined potential value across four task orders. Ten awards with ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months represent $15 million in recompete exposure.
Service Contract Inventory captures limited activity: SCI-reported invoicing of $1.6 million in FY2022 and $1.7 million in FY2023 across roughly 16 and 14 FTEs respectively, with no SCI-reportable invoicing in FY2024 or FY2025. On the contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $59.25 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $62.85 per hour. Step Up operates with no subcontracted hours on SCI-reportable records, delivering all services through direct staff. Activity has remained steady across the past five years (8–10 awards annually from 2022 through 2026), with 97 percent of awards arriving as prime contracts or grants and 3 percent as sub-awards, reflecting the organization's role as a lead service provider rather than a feeder to larger federal primes.
