Union Mission Inc.

Union Mission Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering homeless services, permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing programs to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Savannah, Georgia. The organization receives the vast majority of its federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), with supplementary support from HHS programs targeting persons living with HIV/AIDS and other vulnerable populations.

Union Mission holds 49 prime grant awards (65% of its recent portfolio) and serves as a subrecipient on 26 additional federal grant sub-awards (35%), reflecting a mixed role as both direct HUD grantee and as service deliverer under state and local administrative pass-through structures. The organization's customer concentration is stark: HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 54 of 75 total awards (81% coverage), with minimal federal diversity across HHS programs. A $512,872 CoC Project Grant running September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, and a $223,298 CoC award spanning March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027, represent recent prime funding. Union Mission also received a $223,298 CoC award effective March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026. Across these awards, Union Mission delivers rental assistance, housing relocation services, case management, stabilization services, and facility operations for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and shelter programs.

In its subrecipient role, Union Mission receives pass-through funding from the City of Savannah, the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority, and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs to administer tenant-based rental assistance programs, provide permanent housing with supportive services for persons in need, deliver emergency shelter and services to homeless populations, and operate housing programs for persons living with HIV/AIDS. Sub-award activity spans the past five years with recent December 2025 awards from the City of Savannah for rental assistance administration and October 2025 shelter operations, alongside historical sub-awards dating to 2021 for rapid rehousing, emergency shelter, and COVID-19 emergency response (ESG-CV) administration.

Union Mission's activity remained flat across recent years — seven awards annually in 2022, 2024, and 2025 — with combined dollars obligated across all 75 awards (prime and sub, spanning back to 2004) totaling $27.1 million. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, recurring annual grants rather than recompete concentration. The organization holds no federal contracts and does not sit on contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grants received directly from HUD or passed through state and local intermediaries.
