Telamon Corporation

Telamon Corporation Executive Division, operating as Transition Resources Corporation, is a North Carolina-based nonprofit organization that serves as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on workforce development, housing and homelessness services, early childhood education, and fair housing initiatives. The organization acts as a prime grant recipient (72% of awards) and as a sub-recipient (28% of awards), with no prime federal contract awards in the source data.

Telamon's capability portfolio centers on case-management-based social services for underserved populations including migrant and seasonal farmworkers, homeless individuals and families, veterans experiencing homelessness, and low-income families with children. The organization delivers workforce development and occupational skills training through the Department of Labor's National Farmworker Jobs Program (CFDA 17.264), providing career counseling, industry-recognized credential training, youth services for participants aged 14–24, allowance payments, and housing assistance to eligible MSFWs and dependents. Representative prime grants include a $830,096 award from the Employment and Training Administration for farmworker workforce services and housing assistance (July 1, 2025–September 30, 2026), a $660,547 award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) for permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services (September 1, 2026–August 31, 2027), and a $583,343 award from the Employment and Training Administration for the National Farmworker Jobs Program (July 1, 2025–September 30, 2026). Telamon also operates early childhood education programs as recipient of multiple Head Start and Early Head Start grants from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Head Start, housing counseling services for HUD, fair housing outreach and education initiatives, and veteran supportive services and employment training.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward workforce and social service agencies. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration leads by award count with 108 awards, followed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (74 awards), the Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (36 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (54 combined awards across two distinct funding lines). These five customer lines account for 75% of all awards in the source data. In sub-recipient work, Telamon receives pass-through funding from state education departments (Indiana, Michigan) and human services agencies (Tennessee, West Virginia) administering USDA nutrition programs, Community Services Block Grants, and emergency home heating assistance.

The source data reports 362 total awards with combined potential value of $105 thousand and combined dollars obligated of $1.7 billion—a signal that most awards are small annual grants with repeat funding cycles rather than large-dollar single awards. Activity has grown consistently: 17 awards in 2022 to 37 in 2025, with 29 awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Only three awards have ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete risk in the near term. Telamon's service footprint spans North Carolina as administrative and operational headquarters, with sub-recipient work flowing through state-administered programs in Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, and West Virginia. The organization's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded; it holds no positions on GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide contract vehicles.
