Centerstone Of Indiana Inc.

Centerstone Of Indiana Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit behavioral health provider headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, receives federal grant funding to deliver integrated mental health treatment, substance use disorder services, homelessness interventions, and crisis response programs across southeastern Indiana as a prime grant recipient (90% of recent awards). The organization does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively through direct grants and sub-grants from HUD and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Centerstone's customer concentration is extreme and singular. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds 68 awards (covering 67% of the recent award portfolio by count), predominantly through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which provides recurring quarterly grants to support permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness in the Columbus, Indiana area and surrounding counties. SAMHSA accounts for the remaining material federal funding stream through three distinct program lines: the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (9 awards), the Center for Mental Health Services (8 awards), and a third SAMHSA component (7 awards). These 24 SAMHSA awards fund five-year and four-year project grants supporting evidence-based treatment expansion, community mental health center operations, and mobile crisis response infrastructure. The remaining 4 awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $105.6 million, with the CoC Program representing the largest single funding stream by volume and consistency.

Centerstone's representative prime grant work illustrates its dual portfolio: a $1.635 million five-year award from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (dated September 30, 2025, completing September 29, 2030) funds Centerstone's Treatment and Recovery Services (C-TRS), delivering evidence-based Matrix therapy, medication-assisted treatment, Seeking Safety trauma programming, and recovery housing to 345 unduplicated youth ages 12–17 and young adults ages 18–25 with substance use disorders or co-occurring disorders across seven Indiana counties; a $160,027 HUD CoC grant (dated September 1, 2025, completing August 31, 2026) supports permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing in Columbus; and a prior $1.635 million SAMHSA award funded Centerstone's Connections in Indiana (CONNECTIONS), serving 235 unduplicated homeless individuals with substance use or co-occurring mental health disorders across six Indiana counties through critical time intervention case management, housing-first approaches, and integrated treatment per SAMHSA Treatment Improvement Protocols 42 and 55. Additional SAMHSA funding anchors mobile crisis response teams across ten south-central Indiana counties (Centerstone Community Crisis Response Partnerships, awarded September 30, 2022) and comprehensive behavioral health services at Centerstone's Bloomington Federally Qualified Health Center-equivalent facility (CCBHC Improvement and Advancement, awarded September 30, 2022).

Centerstone operates as a sub-recipient on nine federal grants routed through Indiana state agencies: the Indiana Department of Health administers Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program sub-grants (CFDA 10.557); the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration sub-awards fund medication-assisted treatment expansion for opioid use disorder and mental health services; and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority sub-awards support long-term rental assistance for homeless individuals in Wayne and Fayette counties. These sub-awards, totaling ten since 2022, represent complementary funding streams aligned with Centerstone's direct HUD and SAMHSA prime work.

Activity remained relatively flat across 2022–2025 (8–9 awards per year) and has not accelerated in 2026 (3 awards to date as of mid-July 2026). Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing approximately 6% of the recent portfolio to recompete risk in that window. Centerstone's grant posture is entirely non-competitive set-aside; the organization competes for HUD CoC grants and SAMHSA project grants under full-and-open procedures as a qualified nonprofit provider in its service area. The organization has no contracting footprint, no parent vehicle positions, and no commercial customer base outside federal grants to health and human services agencies.
