New Vista Of The Bluegrass, Inc.

New Vista Of The Bluegrass, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, receives federal grants for integrated behavioral health, substance use treatment, and housing services as a prime recipient and sub-recipient across multiple HHS and HUD programs serving a 17-county service area in Central Kentucky. The organization operates as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) and Community Mental Health Center (CMHC), with 87 total federal awards spanning prime and sub-recipient roles across HHS and HUD funding streams.

New Vista's federal footprint divides between prime grant awards (37% of recent awards) and sub-awards routed through the Kentucky Cabinet for Health Services (63%). The organization holds prime recipient status under the HUD Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), securing awards of $395,132 (September 2026–August 2027), $406,440 (April 2026–March 2027), and prior-year COC grants dating to 2022. New Vista also holds a prime SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Improvement and Advancement (CCBHC-IA) grant awarded September 30, 2022, running through September 29, 2026, supporting expansion of transportation services across the 17-county region, medication-assisted opioid use disorder treatment (MOUD), school-based mental health services, and projected service expansion from 300 clients in year one to 1,393 across the grant period.

As a sub-recipient, New Vista flows federal dollars through the Kentucky Cabinet for Health Services across a wide portfolio of SAMHSA and HHS block grants and special initiatives. Recent sub-award activity (July 2024–July 2026) spans the Kentucky Overdose Response Effort, Kentucky Opioid Response Effort (KORE), Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH), Kentucky Strategic Allies Fostering Empowerment of Today's Youth (KY SAFETY), 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline capacity expansion, Foster Care, and Kentucky's Service and Infrastructure eXpansion (KYSIX) Initiative.

Customer concentration sits heavily with HHS agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration anchors the portfolio with 48 awards across prime and sub roles, while the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development contributes 25 COC awards. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families rounds out the top tier with 6 awards. Awards per year grew substantially from 3 in 2022 to 32 in 2024, declining to 14 in 2025 and 10 in 2026; only 2 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. New Vista's work performance occurs in Lexington, Kentucky 40511 and across the full 17-county service region, with service populations focused on individuals with serious mental illness, substance use disorder, co-occurring disorder, and severe emotional disturbance disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis and pandemic fallout.
