Transitional Housing Corp

Transitional Housing Corp's Housing Up division is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization providing direct homeless services and supportive housing to vulnerable populations in the Washington, D.C. area, operating as a federal grant recipient under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The organization does not hold federal prime contracts and operates exclusively through HUD grant awards; it is not a contractor and does not bid on competitive federal procurements.

Housing Up's federal footprint consists entirely of recurring annual CoC Program project grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, with five consecutive awards spanning 2022 through 2026. The most recent award, dated January 1, 2026 and running through December 31, 2026, carries a project grant value of $225,218. These grants fund five CoC program components: permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS). Housing Up's grant-funded activities include direct housing provision, case management, community resource connection, youth enrichment programs, employment assistance, health and wellness support, and tenant education services. The organization supplements these grant funds with capacity-building support that funds staff salaries for affordable housing and operations teams, resident services coordination, asset management, and housing development pipeline management.

Activity has remained steady across the past five years, with one award per calendar year from 2022 through 2024, two awards in 2025, and one award in 2026. Combined federal obligations across all nineteen documented awards total $3.1 million, reflecting the modest scale of individual CoC project grants relative to broader federal contracting. The organization serves a single federal customer: HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 95% of all awards. One CoC award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing standard annual recompete cycle for Housing Up's recurring grant stream. Housing Up does not appear in federal contract prime or sub-award records; the organization's single sub-award documented in the source is a grant sub-award for capacity building dated January 22, 2025.

Housing Up is positioned as a direct-service nonprofit operator, not a federal contractor, and therefore does not compete for competitive procurements, hold vehicles such as GWACs or IDIQs, or team as a prime or sub with federal contractors on contract vehicles. For federal contractor business-development professionals, Housing Up is relevant only in specific use cases: as a potential sub-recipient if the contractor is managing HUD Community Planning and Development capacity-building grants, or as a local community partner on HUD neighborhood revitalization or homelessness prevention initiatives where nonprofit coordination is a program requirement.
