Catholic Charities Inc.

Catholic Charities Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, acts as a federal grant recipient delivering homeless services, veteran family supportive services, and domestic violence survivor assistance across Kansas through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Justice. The organization operates as both a prime recipient (52% of recent awards) and sub-recipient (48%), with the vast majority of its federal footprint concentrated in grant programs rather than federal contracts.

Catholic Charities' customer concentration is highly concentrated in three federal agencies accounting for 73% of recent awards. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service leads with 28 awards, followed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development with 17 awards, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health with 14 awards. The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women and VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 round out the active set with five awards each. Across all grantor agencies and sub-recipients, Catholic Charities has served 12 distinct federal customer organizations.

Catholic Charities' prime grant footprint centers on three recurring federal programs. Under the HUD Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), the organization received multiple project grants supporting homeless services in Wichita, Kansas, with recent awards including a $303,277 grant (November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026) and a $193,115 grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention across five eligible program components. Under the Department of Veterans Affairs Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033), Catholic Charities received a $1.48 million grant (September 30, 2025 through September 30, 2026) to deliver outreach, case management, VA benefits assistance, and temporary financial assistance for housing barriers to very low-income veteran families in Kansas. The organization also holds a Department of Veterans Affairs Basic Ordering Agreement (VA255BO0160) with four task orders valued at $140 thousand combined. Catholic Charities holds a Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women Transitional Housing Assistance grant (October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025) for transitional housing and support services to domestic violence survivors, with survivor-centered voluntary services including rental and utility assistance, case management, safety planning, and childcare.

Catholic Charities operates as a sub-recipient on 46 awards flowing through state-level prime grantees. The Kansas State Department of Education serves as the primary pass-through entity, issuing block grant sub-awards to Catholic Charities on a recurring basis (most recent sub-award May 4, 2026). The Executive Office of the State of Kansas and Kansas Department for Children and Families issue sub-awards focused on domestic violence and sexual assault survivor services, rapid rehousing and homeless prevention assistance, and TANF-related support services for vulnerable populations. Sub-award work includes Harbor House emergency shelter and case management operations for domestic violence survivors, Home-ARP rental assistance, and rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention services across eleven counties in southeast Kansas through Emergency Solutions Grant funding.

Activity has grown significantly year over year, from six awards in 2022 to twenty-three awards in 2025, with eight awards issued in 2026 through May. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The organization's service footprint is geographically concentrated in the Wichita region and south-central and southeast Kansas, with primary service delivery areas encompassing one or more counties across that region.
