About the company
The ST. Bernard Project, Inc., doing business as Strongward, is a New Orleans-based tax-exempt nonprofit and community development corporation that serves as a federal grant recipient, delivering community development and housing preservation technical assistance to HUD, USDA, and AmeriCorps-managed programs. Strongward operates exclusively as a grant recipient (no federal contracts); all nineteen awards in recent history are federal grants, with fourteen (74%) as prime recipient and five (26%) as sub-recipient positions.
Strongward's capability portfolio centers on technical assistance and capacity building for HUD grantees, housing preservation in rural areas, and AmeriCorps member program administration. Representative work includes a cooperative agreement with HUD's Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research (awarded October 9, 2024, running through September 30, 2027) to deliver technical assistance and capacity building to HUD customer organizations—state and local grantees, public housing agencies, nonprofits, continuum-of-care leads, tribal organizations, and HUD-assisted housing owners—covering needs assessments, direct technical assistance, tool and product development, knowledge management, data analysis, and performance measurement. Strongward also holds a rural housing preservation grant from USDA's Single Family Housing Program (awarded July 30, 2026, completing August 30, 2027) and manages an AmeriCorps National Direct program (awarded September 8, 2024, with forward-funded 2026–27 slots for $1.968 million, running through September 7, 2027).
