Alta Care Group, Inc.

Alta Care Group, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Youngstown, Ohio, delivers early childhood education, mental health services, and substance-use-disorder prevention and treatment support to federal agencies and state health departments as a prime grant recipient (31% of recent awards) and as a subrecipient (69% of recent awards) under federal grant programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services.

Alta Care Group operates exclusively in the federal grant space rather than federal contracting. The organization has received five prime federal grants totaling $213.7 million across sixteen awards since 2015, with work concentrated in two HHS funding streams: the Administration for Children and Families (which funds Head Start early childhood programs) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (which funds mental health and opioid-response initiatives). As a prime recipient, Alta Care Group holds a $5.091948 million Head Start award (CFDA 93.600) from the Office of Head Start with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, which provides early childhood education, health screenings, nutritious meals, and parenting support services to low-income families in Ohio. The organization also carries an ongoing Head Start award with completion extended to July 31, 2029, demonstrating sustained engagement in early childhood services.

As a subrecipient, Alta Care Group has participated in eleven federal grant sub-awards since 2023, with the majority flowing through state pass-through entities — primarily the Ohio Department of Mental Health. The subrecipient work centers on infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) services, mental health block grant (MHBG) implementation, and state opioid response (SOR) initiatives. Named subrecipient engagements include infant early childhood mental health services under a July 2026 sub-award from the Ohio Department of Children and Youth; two separate IECMH sub-awards from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (September 2025); and multiple state opioid response and mental health block grant sub-awards from the Ohio Department of Mental Health spanning 2023 through 2026, including State Opioid Response 3.0 (SOR 3.0) and State Opioid Response 4.0 (SOR 4.0) programs and ARPA-funded MHBG allocations.

Activity has remained modest and consistent — between one and four awards per year across the period 2021 to 2026 — with only one award scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable recompete exposure. Customer concentration sits entirely within HHS, with the Administration for Children and Families and SAMHSA accounting for all sixteen awards across the prime and subrecipient portfolio. Alta Care Group's federal footprint reflects a specialized regional operator focused on vulnerable-population services — early childhood education and mental health and substance-use support for low-income and at-risk populations in Ohio.
