Union Mission Inc.

Union Mission Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Savannah, Georgia, serves as a prime recipient of federal grants for homeless services and housing operations, with no federal contracting footprint. The organization operates as a direct recipient on HUD Continuum of Care Program grants (CFDA 14.267) and holds a secondary role as a subrecipient on pass-through awards from state and local grantees including the City of Savannah, the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority, and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for tenant-based rental assistance administration, emergency shelter operations, permanent supportive housing, and services to persons living with HIV/AIDS.

Union Mission's federal funding concentrates overwhelmingly on HUD's Continuum of Care Program. Of 76 total awards (prime and sub combined), 55 awards — 82% of the portfolio — flow from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development; the next-largest customers are HHS Health Resources and Services Administration (3 awards), HHS Administration for Children and Families (2 awards), with single awards from USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture and HHS Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The organization holds 50 prime grants (66% of total awards) and receives 26 federal sub-awards (34%) through state and local pass-through structures. Recent prime CoC awards include a $535,087 project grant dated September 1, 2026, covering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and shelter operations through August 31, 2027, and a $223,298 award dated March 1, 2026, for the same service mix through February 28, 2027. Sub-award activity includes tenant-based rental assistance administration from the City of Savannah, permanent housing and services from the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority, housing and services for persons with HIV from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program sub-awards for low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.

Union Mission's federal grant portfolio shows consistent annual volume — 7 awards in each of 2022, 2024, and 2025, with 5 in 2023 — generating $27.7 million in combined obligated dollars across all 76 awards. Only 2 awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The organization's service delivery centers on five CoC program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and homelessness prevention where applicable. Operational activities include rental assistance, housing relocation services, case management, stabilization services, and facility operations for homeless individuals and families, with supplementary support for vulnerable populations through HHS programs targeting persons with HIV/AIDS and substance abuse and mental health services.
