Voice Of Calvary Ministries

Voice Of Calvary Ministries, a Jackson, Mississippi-based nonprofit organization and community development corporation, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering homelessness intervention and housing-stability services, with 50% of its recent award footprint held as prime recipient status and 50% as sub-recipient on state and local pass-through grants. The organization does not hold federal contracts or IDVs; its entire federal footprint derives from grant awards under HUD's Continuum of Care Program and complementary TANF and housing-assistance sub-grants from state intermediaries.

The organization's customer base concentrates sharply on HUD's homelessness programs. Seven of sixteen total awards (69% coverage by award count) flow from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267); three awards flow from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families; and one flows from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner. Voice Of Calvary Ministries has received consistent annual CoC Program grants as a prime recipient, with awards ranging from approximately $204,488 to $245,380, covering the grant periods November 1 through October 31 across 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The most recent award, dated November 1, 2025, carries a potential value of $245,380 for the period through October 31, 2026.

As a CoC Program recipient, Voice Of Calvary Ministries delivers transitional housing, rapid rehousing, street outreach, and community resource center services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Jackson metropolitan area and surrounding counties. Services include case management, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, and related supportive services designed to promote housing stability and self-sufficiency. In its sub-recipient role, the organization operates under pass-throughs from the Mississippi Department of Human Services, supporting TANF-funded parenthood-initiative programming and addressing homelessness and housing instability through TBRA (Tenant-Based Rental Assistance) sub-grants. Representative sub-work includes an October 2024 sub-grant to support MDHS parenthood renewal initiatives across Copiah, Hinds, Madison, and Rankin counties.

Activity has grown from one award per year in 2021 and 2022 to four awards in 2024, with two awards recorded in 2025. The combined dollar footprint across all sixteen awards spans $4.4 million obligated. One award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure in the immediate window. The organization's federal footprint remains tightly scoped to homelessness intervention and family-support programming within Mississippi's HUD CoC ecosystem.
