I.m. Sulzbacher Center For The Homeless, Inc.

I.M. Sulzbacher Center For The Homeless, Inc., a Jacksonville, Florida-based nonprofit organization, acts as a federal grant recipient delivering residential treatment, emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, and integrated healthcare services to homeless and low-income populations, including veterans, individuals with serious mental illness, and persons living with HIV/AIDS. The organization operates as a prime recipient on 75 federal grant awards (85% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on 13 grant sub-awards, with no federal contracting activity. Sulzbacher maintains three operational campuses: the men's campus at 611 East Adams Street, Sulzbacher Village for Women & Families, and Sulzbacher Beaches Clinic, a healthcare-only facility in Jacksonville Beach.

Sulzbacher's federal funding stream is heavily concentrated with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which accounts for 59 awards under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). Recent representative COC awards include $1.130 million obligated December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, $306,208 obligated August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027, and $104,268 obligated January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Sulzbacher has received 57 recurring annual Continuum of Care allocations from HUD, establishing HUD as its dominant federal funding source. Beyond HUD, the organization serves the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (8 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (4 awards), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 8 (3 awards, $1.9 million combined potential value). A $907,875 firm fixed price definitive contract from VA VISN 8, awarded November 17, 2021 and extending through September 30, 2025, funds residential treatment services for homeless veterans. Additional grant work includes a $1.265 million Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS award (CFDA 14.241) from HUD running through February 3, 2029, a $750,000 Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative grant (CFDA 16.812) from the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance supporting mental health diversion and crisis stabilization services through September 30, 2026, and a $2 million congressionally directed spending award for construction of the Sulzbacher Enterprise Village, a new campus to replace the original men's campus location.

Sulzbacher also holds sub-recipient appointments under Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs, performing rapid unsheltered survivor housing, emergency shelter services, and rapid rehousing for homeless individuals and families in Jacksonville and Duval County, Florida. Sub-awards from the City of Jacksonville and Duval County include direct client assistance for emergency shelter, rapid rehousing case management, and case manager salary funding. Additional sub-recipient work includes Child Care Food Program meal services from the Florida Department of Health and pediatric health center services for low-income children in the Westside and Brentwood neighborhoods of Jacksonville.

Award activity shows recent decline: 13 awards in 2023 stepped down to 8 awards each in 2024 and 2025, with 4 awards through the first two months of 2026. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity. SCI-reported invoicing was minimal, totaling $294,000 across FY2023 and FY2024 on service contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold, with roughly 0.5 FTEs delivered in each year at a government-paid median hourly rate of approximately $141/hour. This SCI activity represents a small fraction of Sulzbacher's total federal grant revenue and does not capture the vast majority of the organization's federal funding, which flows through grant mechanisms outside the SCI reporting scope. Sulzbacher operates internally across its prime awards with no named subcontractors in the available data, concentrating delivery through its own staff and facilities across the three Jacksonville-area campuses.
