Seven Counties Services Inc.

Seven Counties Services Inc., doing business as Centerstone, is a Louisville-based nonprofit community mental health center that operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient, with no federal contract prime or IDV positions. The organization delivers crisis intervention, behavioral health treatment, substance abuse recovery services, homeless prevention and supportive housing, and mental health peer support across a seven-county service area in north central Kentucky (Jefferson, Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble Counties), serving approximately 1.05 million residents including roughly 70,000 veterans.

Centerstone's federal footprint is anchored to SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) grant programs and HUD's Continuum of Care Program. As a prime recipient, the organization has received a $250,000 award from SAMHSA under the 988 and Behavioral Health Crisis Services Programs (CFDA 93.00R) dated September 30, 2026, to fund 1.3 FTE dedicated crisis intervention follow-up counselors, a 0.5 FTE quality assurance supervisor, and a 0.5 FTE data administrator through September 29, 2029. The award targets adults and transition-aged youth experiencing suicidal ideation, recent suicide attempts, substance use-related crises, or co-occurring mental health and substance use needs, with follow-up beginning within 24 hours of referral. Centerstone operates the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, having answered over 90,000 crisis calls in 2025 alone. As a prime recipient under HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), Centerstone received a $101,722 award dated January 1, 2026, for homeless prevention and supportive housing activities. A third major prime award, dated September 30, 2022, from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, funded community-based peer support expansion across the seven-county region, adding six positions including program leadership and certified peer support specialists with lived experience in substance use disorder or co-occurring disorders, with performance through September 29, 2025. The organization also received a grant from SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services for an Oldham County Mental Health Awareness Training Project (awarded December 31, 2022, running through September 29, 2026), training school personnel, first responders, law enforcement, and veterans' families in mental health first aid and crisis de-escalation.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to HHS agencies. SAMHSA accounts for 56 awards across three distinct sub-agency concentrations (28, 20, and 8 awards respectively), HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 25 awards under the Continuum of Care Program, and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office represents 14 awards worth $5.1 million in combined potential value. These five customer groupings cover 81% of recent awards. As a sub-recipient, Centerstone receives funding through Kentucky's Cabinet for Health Services on multiple SAMHSA block grant programs (SAPT, Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services, Kentucky Opioid Response Effort, Kentucky Partnerships for Success, Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homeless, 988 Capacity Expansion, and others). Recent sub-awards (July 1, 2026) include funding under SAPT Prevention, Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services (BSCA), the Kentucky Service and Infrastructure Expansion (KYSIX) Initiative, and MH Block Grants, all routed through Kentucky's Cabinet for Health Services. Sub-recipient work also includes trauma treatment partnerships with the University of Louisville Kent School of Social Work (awarded March 4, 2026), a youth mobile outreach and wellness project under the Justice & Public Safety Cabinet (awarded December 24, 2025), and supportive services delivery through Young Adult Development in Action Inc. (most recent award March 25, 2025).

Centerstone sits on two federal IDVs: Indefinite Delivery Contract DJBCTS376 with 6 task orders worth $1.1 million combined potential value, and Indefinite Delivery Contract DJBTDAT090 with 6 task orders worth $362,000 combined potential value. Activity has accelerated sharply — four awards in 2022 growing to 34 in 2024 — with 18 awards in 2025 and 14 in 2026. The organization's federal footprint spans 117 total awards (51 prime, 66 sub-awards) with combined potential value of $5.2 million, though obligated dollars across all awards total $53.7 million, indicating substantial historical funding momentum. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The organization has been receiving federal funding since at least March 31, 2002, and its operational focus centers on NAICS 621420 (Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers) and PSC Social Rehabilitation services.
