Carter's Compassionate Transitional & Supportive Housing

Carter's Compassionate Transitional & Supportive Housing, doing business as Hagar's House, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Brandon, Mississippi, that operates as a federal grant recipient (67% prime grant awards, 33% sub-award participation) focused on victim services for domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking in rural and underserved communities. The organization holds minority-owned and woman-owned business certifications and has not pursued federal contracts or contract vehicles.

The vendor's federal footprint centers entirely on the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. Hagar's House currently holds two prime federal grant awards under OVW programs. The first, a $500,000 Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program (CFDA 16.589) award effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, supports identification, assessment, and response to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking in rural Mississippi communities, with services spanning victim counseling, legal assistance, community education, and crime prevention strategies. The second, a $400,000 Culturally and Linguistically Specific Services Program (CFDA 16.016) award effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027, targets Black and African American victims in the Jackson, Mississippi metropolitan area, delivering culturally specific trainings, trauma treatment, case management, life skills classes, financial counseling, and holistic healing activities. Hagar's House also received a sub-award under the ESG-CV (Emergency Solutions Grant — CARES Act) program administered by Mississippi Home Corporation in January 2022, which funded emergency shelter and homelessness prevention services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Combined obligated dollars across all three awards total $1.2 million. The vendor served a single federal agency across its three-award footprint, with all work routed through OVW grant programs rather than competitive federal contracting vehicles.
