About the company
The Journey Forward is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization operating exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal housing grants, with no prime contract or IDV positions and no direct federal contracting footprint. The organization receives subawards under comprehensive housing counseling and community development programs funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Journey Forward's entire recent federal footprint consists of three subawards totaling $100 thousand in obligated dollars, all routed through Housing Action Illinois as the prime grant recipient. Two awards (January 2025 and June 2024) carry designations for comprehensive housing counseling services. A third award from April 2024 supports community development focused on creating viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities principally for low- and moderate-income populations. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner accounts for two of the three awards in the source data window.
Activity appears limited and recent. The vendor recorded two awards in 2024 and one in 2025, with the earliest award in the source data dated April 2024. Combined obligated dollars across all three awards total $100 thousand. The Journey Forward serves a single federal customer agency (HUD) exclusively through subaward structures, indicating a nascent or highly specialized grant-sub footprint with no exposure to federal contracting vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs. The organization operates outside the competitive contract space and does not hold SBA certifications or set-aside designations relevant to procurement.
