Interfaith Housing Develop Corporation Of Chicago

Interfaith Housing Develop Corporation Of Chicago, a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation based in Chicago, Illinois, operates exclusively as a prime recipient of federal grant funding for rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, coordinated entry services, and Homeless Management Information Systems operations. The organization receives recurring funding under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development and does not compete for federal contracts or sit on contract vehicles.

The organization's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in homelessness services. Interfaith Housing serves homeless individuals and families in the Chicago metropolitan area, including persons fleeing domestic violence and youth ages 24 and younger. Grant awards fund eligible costs to establish and operate five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and homelessness prevention where applicable. Permissible activities include COC planning, real property acquisition and rehabilitation, new construction, and United Funding Agency costs for fiscal control and accounting. Recent representative awards include a $1,080,769 COC Program grant awarded July 1, 2026, for the performance period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; a $684,181 COC Program grant awarded August 1, 2026, for the period August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027; and a $440,752 COC Program grant awarded October 1, 2025, for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme. Of 83 total awards across all federal sources, 80 awards (98% coverage) are from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development; the remaining three awards span the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The organization has no federal contract work, no sub-award activity, and no parent vehicle participation. Activity has averaged six to seven awards per year over the past five years, with $37.6 million combined dollars obligated across the full award portfolio. Five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing the near-term recompete cycle for Interfaith Housing's recurring COC Program funding.
