Federal opportunities are listed nationally: a nonprofit in Wisconsin can apply to any of them, so this table is not filtered by state.
Matched against the full synopsis text of every posted opportunity, not the listing title alone; restricted to opportunities open to nonprofit applicants. Federal programs rarely use the phrase "homeless shelter"; this table also matches the agency vocabulary: homelessness, housing insecurity, unhoused, supportive housing.
