A New Leaf, Inc.

A New Leaf, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Mesa, Arizona, operates as a federal grant recipient (35% of recent awards as prime recipient) and sub-recipient (65%), delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, emergency shelter, domestic violence services, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and entrepreneurship training to homeless individuals, families, domestic violence survivors, and military-connected populations across the Arizona metropolitan area and adjacent regions.

The organization's customer base concentrates heavily in social safety-net and community development funding. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads by award count at 25 awards, followed by the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime division at 12 awards, the Small Business Administration's Office of VA Business Development at 6 awards, the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families at 5 awards, and the Department of Energy at 5 awards—collectively accounting for 49% of recent awards. Within HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), A New Leaf operates as both direct recipient and sub-recipient, managing permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing across multiple funding cycles. Representative prime grants include a $900,578 CoC award (September 2026, ultimate completion August 31, 2027) for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services in the Arizona metropolitan area; a $1.44 million CoC award (September 2024 through August 2025) for housing and supportive services; and a $340,000 SBA Veterans Outreach Program grant (May 2025 through April 2026) providing entrepreneurship training, business counseling, and mentoring connections to veterans, service-disabled veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses in Mesa. A New Leaf also operates a Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC) under recurring SBA awards dating to at least fiscal 2023.

Sub-award activity is distributed across state and local pass-throughs. Arizona Department of Public Safety has awarded A New Leaf multiple sub-awards for domestic violence shelter operations, including the Faith House Women's Crisis Shelter, Court Advocacy Program, and Domestic Violence Safe Temporary Overflow Program (DVSTOP) / Safe Access for Expedited Domestic Violence Services (SAFEDVS). Arizona Department of Housing has sub-awarded A New Leaf funding for rapid rehousing administration in Pinal County (11 units of scattered-site rental assistance for individuals and families meeting Category 4 HUD homelessness definitions), weatherization assistance for income-qualified households in Mesa, and emergency shelter operations. Arizona Department of Economic Security has routed Child Care and Development Fund block grant allocations, Family First Prevention Services Act funding, and Family Temporary Assistance for Needy Families grants to A New Leaf. City of Mesa and City of Scottsdale funding flows through for emergency shelter, housing support services, and tenant-based rental assistance. A New Leaf also received a cooperative agreement from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement (November 2022, ultimate completion October 2025) for residential shelter services for unaccompanied children and a Department of Justice grant (October 2022, ultimate completion September 2025) for emergency pet shelter services at its Autumn House Domestic Violence Shelter, supporting kennel operations and veterinary care for animals belonging to domestic violence survivors.

Activity over the past five years shows steady award growth—14 awards in 2022 to a peak of 23 in 2024—with a slight modulation to 18 awards in 2025 and 3 awards received to date in 2026 (as of September). Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. Work is performed entirely in Arizona, with primary administrative and operational presence in Mesa. A New Leaf leverages federal grant funding alongside city and county resources, private contributions, and community partnerships to sustain shelter operations, housing stabilization services, workforce development, and victim advocacy across multiple service populations experiencing homelessness and domestic violence.
