Center For Community Resources, Inc.

Center For Community Resources, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Butler, Pennsylvania, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants for community health, substance-abuse treatment, housing support, and homeless services, with secondary work as a subrecipient on federal housing and behavioral health grants. The organization holds no federal contract vehicles and does not compete for contracts under set-aside categories; its footprint is exclusively grant-funded and direct service delivery.

Center For Community Resources delivers community health services, volunteer income tax assistance (VITA), permanent supportive housing case management and leasing, crisis mental health and substance-abuse services, and temporary shelter operations for homeless veterans. As a prime recipient, the organization holds four consecutive Volunteer Income Tax Assistance matching grants from the Internal Revenue Service (CFDA 21.006), most recently awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, extending services to low- and moderate-income populations including individuals with disabilities, non-English speakers, rural residents, military families, and the elderly, with performance targets including electronic filing of at least 90% of returns and incremental year-over-year increases in return preparation. Center For Community Resources also holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4, awarded September 28, 2026, with a $581,350 ceiling through September 27, 2031, for Health Care for Homeless Veterans temporary shelter services in Butler, Pennsylvania, providing room and board, case management, and therapeutic services at a daily per-diem rate for up to three homeless veterans per day; a $109,500 firm-fixed-price delivery order under this contract was issued the same date for HCHV Services, with completion September 27, 2027.

As a subrecipient, Center For Community Resources delivers permanent supportive housing case management and leasing services under grants from Butler County (two awards, October 1, 2023 onward, serving chronically homeless individuals) and the University of Pittsburgh (March 30, 2026, maintaining 24/7 walk-in crisis services for mental health, drug, and alcohol issues). The organization also receives federal pass-through funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs for pregnancy support and substance-use-disorder services for pregnant and postpartum women (awards February 2022, March 2023) and Project Towards No Drug Abuse education programming across Butler County school districts (December 2021).

Awards per year have averaged two annually across the past five years, with recent activity showing one award in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026. The Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service accounts for eight awards (all VITA grants), the Department of Housing and Urban Development for four, and the Department of Veterans Affairs for two, together covering 83% of total award count. Obligated dollars ($4.7 million across all awards) substantially exceed combined potential value ($691 thousand), reflecting mature multi-year grant cycles with full drawdown against previous funding cycles. One award ($110,000 potential value) reaches completion within the next twenty-four months.
