The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov that provides critical social services, with a particular focus on supporting homeless veterans and individuals experiencing housing insecurity. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, the organization has established itself as a key provider of transitional housing and supportive services to federal agencies, primarily the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The organization operates primarily in North Carolina, with a significant presence in Charlotte and Salisbury, delivering comprehensive housing and support programs designed to help vulnerable populations transition to stable living conditions.

Through federal contract awards, The Salvation Army has consistently provided transitional housing services for homeless veterans, working exclusively with the Veterans Integrated Service Network 6 (VISN 6). These contracts, ranging from $5,940 to $570,349, involve delivering temporary housing and related support services within a 50-mile radius of VA health care centers in North Carolina. The contract awards are typically firm fixed-price delivery orders without specific set-aside designations, focusing on helping veterans transition from homelessness to independent living. The organization has been a prime contractor for these services, demonstrating a specialized capability in addressing veteran housing needs through targeted, location-specific interventions.

The Salvation Army's federal grant awards, primarily from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, have enabled the organization to provide comprehensive homeless assistance in Charlotte, North Carolina. These project grants, ranging from $290,072 to $336,199, support a wide range of services including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. The grants aim to promote community-wide efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness and optimizing self-sufficiency. Additionally, the organization has received a sub-grant from the State of North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services to support crisis response efforts.
