About the company
Dream Center, a domestic-shelter nonprofit organization based in Peoria, Illinois, receives federal funding as a grant recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) and as a sub-recipient on federal nutrition programs administered through the Illinois State Board of Education. Dream Center operates as a tax-exempt corporate entity and does not hold federal contracts or compete in the federal contracting marketplace; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards and grant sub-awards.
Dream Center's primary federal relationship is with HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which has awarded the organization five consecutive annual Continuum of Care project grants since August 2022 to establish and operate housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families in the Peoria area. The most recent award, issued August 1, 2026, carries a value of $268,843 and runs through July 31, 2027; the prior year's award (August 1, 2025) was $235,070 and covered August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025. Continuum of Care funding supports permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities), rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and homelessness prevention. Dream Center also acts as a sub-recipient on federal nutrition programs, primarily through the Illinois State Board of Education as the prime grantee. Sub-recipient awards flow from the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the National School Lunch Program, which reimburse Dream Center for meals served to enrolled children at emergency shelters and afterschool care programs. The source documents ten CACFP sub-awards between March 2024 and September 2026, and ten Emergency Solutions sub-awards between October 2023 and January 2024, flowing through the Illinois State Board of Education.
Dream Center's recent activity shows growth in sub-recipient awards: the organization received one prime HUD award in 2022, six in 2023, twenty-one awards (primarily sub-awards) in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $3.3 million. The two funding agencies that account for 56% of the award count are HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (11 awards) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (12 awards), the latter flowing through state intermediaries. Dream Center holds no federal contract vehicles and does not serve as a prime contractor; 73% of recent awards are sub-awards, primarily nutrition-program reimbursements with annual cycles running through state education and human services agencies.
