1736 Family Crisis Center

1736 Family Crisis Center, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit established in 1972, operates as a federal grant recipient providing domestic violence shelter, emergency housing assistance, supportive services, case management, and legal aid to vulnerable populations including domestic violence survivors, homeless individuals and families, veterans, runaway and homeless youth, human trafficking victims, and crime victims. The organization does not hold federal contracts; all 57 prime awards in its recent footprint are project grants, with an additional 30 sub-grants from state and local grantees routing federal funds downward.

1736 Family Crisis Center's customer base concentrates heavily in social-services and veterans-support agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) anchors the largest share, with 29 awards funding permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services across multiple program components. The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs (Victims of Crime) holds 22 awards, the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration carries 14 awards, the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families holds 9 awards, and the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women accounts for 4 awards. Together these five agencies represent 90% of recent award volume. Dollar concentration matches volume: HUD's Continuum of Care work dominates the portfolio in combined potential value, followed by the VA's Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033), which has awarded the organization approximately $2.56 million across three separate grants since 2022.

The organization's capability portfolio, grounded in recent prime-recipient awards, centers on housing-first and trauma-informed service delivery. Representative work includes a $577,880 HUD Continuum of Care project grant awarded July 1, 2026, funding eligible costs to establish and operate permanent housing including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, and Homeless Management Information Systems through June 30, 2027, with performance in Los Angeles County. A $2,006,831 VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program grant awarded October 1, 2025, provides outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for childcare, emergency housing, transportation, rental assistance, utility-fee payment assistance, security deposits, and moving costs to very low-income veteran families through September 30, 2026. A $500,000 Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women Transitional Housing Assistance Grant (CFDA 16.736) awarded October 1, 2023, funds 6–24 months of transitional housing and comprehensive support services including rental and utility assistance, case management, safety planning, counseling, childcare, transportation, career and financial counseling, job training, legal aid, and housing advocacy for 30 survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, running through September 30, 2026, with collaboration from UAW Labor Employment and Training Corporation. Additional prime work includes a $600,000 Office on Violence Against Women Legal Assistance for Victims grant (CFDA 16.524) awarded October 1, 2022, and a Department of Justice Victims of Crime grant for human trafficking victims providing 24-hour crisis hotlines, emergency shelter, transitional housing, case management, mental health and employment services, and aftercare services to underserved populations including BIPOC, monolingual Spanish-speaking, and victims with children through September 30, 2025.

In its sub-recipient role, 1736 Family Crisis Center receives pass-through funding from the California Office of Emergency Services and the City of Long Beach under state and local administrations of federal victim-services and homelessness-prevention programs. Recent sub-awards include funding for emergency shelter and comprehensive support services to domestic violence providers, culturally appropriate victim services for unserved and underserved populations, elder and dependent adult abuse victim services, transitional and short-term housing assistance, civil and criminal legal assistance for crime victims, and a 51-bed transitional housing program for domestic violence survivors in Long Beach delivering case management, benefits linkages, mental health services, life skills, income enhancement, legal services, and substance use education. One sub-award from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, dated September 19, 2024, funds low-barrier, trauma-informed transitional housing with supportive services in shared housing to domestic violence survivors, including those with children, with formal partners providing moving cost assistance, outpatient medical services, substance abuse treatment, and education services.

Award activity grew from nine grants in 2023 to fourteen in 2024, then moderated to eleven in 2025 and four in 2026, with only one award recorded in 2027. The organization's combined federal dollars obligated across all 87 awards (prime and sub) total $45.4 million since 2005. Within the next twenty-four months, only one award faces ultimate completion, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term and suggesting stable, recurring grant relationships across the portfolio.
