Seven Counties Services Inc.

Seven Counties Services Inc., doing business as Centerstone, is a Louisville-based non-profit community mental health center that acts as both a prime recipient and sub-recipient on federal grants focused on behavioral health, substance abuse treatment, homelessness prevention, and crisis intervention services across north central Kentucky. The organization does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based, with primary work anchored to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and multiple funding streams from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Centerstone's capability portfolio centers on community-based mental health services, trauma-informed care, peer support recovery services, and homeless services delivery. As a prime recipient, the organization operates Continuum of Care programs delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services only across Jefferson and surrounding rural Kentucky counties. Representative prime awards include a $101,722 HUD CoC project grant for homeless prevention and supportive housing in Wildham, Kentucky (January 2026 through December 2026); a SAMHSA Community-Based Peer Support Expansion Program grant beginning September 2022 that deployed six new credentialed peer support specialist positions across four service sites (the Addiction Recovery Center and Women's Addiction Recovery Center in Louisville and the Women's Renaissance Center in Shelbyville); and a SAMHSA Community Mental Health Centers Expansion Project grant (September 2021 through September 2023) serving at least 1,000 unduplicated individuals with serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, and co-occurring substance use and opioid disorders. A SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services project grant (December 2022 through September 2026) supported the Oldham County Mental Health Awareness Training Project, delivering mental health first aid training to school personnel, emergency responders, law enforcement, and veterans across a county with significant provider shortages.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward behavioral health and housing authorities. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 25 awards; SAMHSA accounts for 48 awards across three distinct organizational units within the Department of Health and Human Services. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office places 14 awards worth $5.1 million combined potential value, positioning DoJ as the only customer with meaningful dollar concentration. Total awards (prime and sub, all sources) number 106 across 11 distinct federal agencies. Centerstone acts as prime on 50 awards (47%) and as sub-recipient on 56 awards (53%), indicating balanced exposure to both direct grant receipt and sub-award relationships.

The organization's sub-recipient work routes through state and local intermediaries. As of March 2026, Centerstone holds sub-awards under the University of Louisville for trauma treatment services, under the Kentucky Cabinet for Health Services for block grants and opioid response programs, under the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet for youth mobile crisis response and mobile outreach initiatives, and under Young Adult Development In Action Inc. for supportive services to eligible populations.

Two indefinite delivery contracts (DJBCTS376 and DJBTDAT090) issued by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons carry six task orders each, with combined potential value of $1.1 million and $362 thousand respectively. These are the only parent vehicles in Centerstone's portfolio.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The organization recorded four awards in 2022, six in 2023, thirty-four in 2024, eighteen in 2025, and three in the first quarter of 2026. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $46.7 million, significantly exceeding the combined potential value of $5.2 million, indicating substantial realization of grant funding. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in that window.

The organization's federal footprint is concentrated in outpatient mental health and substance abuse center operations (15 awards under the Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers NAICS) and social rehabilitation services (15 awards under PSC Social Rehabilitation), aligning with Centerstone's stated mission of serving nearly 34,000 individuals per year across a catchment area spanning over 1 million people in Kentucky.
