About the company
Central American Resource Center - Carecen - Of California, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California, delivers federal grant-funded citizenship education, legal services for unaccompanied minors, and immigrant integration support to the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health and Human Services, and subordinate federal agencies as a grant recipient (67% of recent awards) and subcontractor on legal services contracts.
The vendor's customer base is concentrated in immigration and child welfare administration. The Department of Homeland Security US Citizen and Immigration Services accounts for four awards, while the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and the Administration for Children and Families each account for one award. Carecen's primary award vehicle is a $450,000 federal grant under the Citizenship Education and Training program (CFDA 97.010), effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2025, which funds citizenship instruction, naturalization application assistance, English language classes, civics education, and integration services for lawful permanent residents. In its subcontractor role, Carecen delivers legal services for the unaccompanied children program under Acacia Center For Justice as prime, with two sub-awards: a no-cost legal services contract amendment for the unaccompanied children's program (April 29, 2024) and an unaccompanied alien children legal services bridge agreement (September 8, 2025).
The vendor's federal footprint remains modest — six total awards (prime and sub combined) with $3.6 million in combined obligation across a thirteen-year observation window. Activity is sparse and episodic: one award in 2015, one in 2017, one in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2025, with no apparent trajectory of growth or contraction. The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures one subcontracted service record in FY2024, reflecting 16.4 FTEs delivered on federal legal and social services work; this is a partial view that excludes grant-funded work, which comprises the majority of Carecen's federal footprint. The vendor operates predominantly as a grant recipient and legal services subcontractor rather than a prime contractor seeking competitive vehicle placement or pursuing full-and-open federal acquisition channels.
