About the company
Chestnut Health Systems Inc., doing business as Chestnut Credit Counseling, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Bloomington, Illinois, provides behavioral health rehabilitation services, substance use disorder treatment, credit counseling, housing support, and research and evaluation services to federal agencies primarily as a prime recipient of federal grants and as a sub-recipient under pass-through grant awards. The organization operates across 47% prime awards and 53% sub-awards, reflecting a substantial role both as a direct federal grantee and as a partner to state and local grantees.
Chestnut's federal grant footprint concentrates in three agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) funds homelessness prevention and housing services; HUD has issued 120 awards to Chestnut. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration funds mental health and substance use treatment expansion and block grants through multiple programs, accounting for 85 awards in the recent award portfolio. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funds implementation science, research, and workforce development projects, with 61 awards supporting hybrid effectiveness-implementation trials for recovery management interventions, substance use prevention, and peer workforce support in harm reduction and overdose prevention contexts. The Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs, through a $7 million Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded April 20, 2023, under the Pathways to Wellness, Recidivism Reduction Initiative (PWRRI), funds behavioral health rehabilitation and recidivism reduction services for Native American populations served by the Office of Justice Services; the IDIQ extends through April 30, 2028, with task orders totaling over $5.38 million to date across behavioral health rehabilitation, virtual recovery environment pilots, and credit counseling work. The Department of Veterans Affairs funds supportive services for veteran families under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033), with a $1.065 million grant awarded September 30, 2025, for outreach, case management, and housing assistance.
SCI-reported federal service contracts show an uptick in recent performance. FY2022 invoicing reached $435 thousand across 2.2 FTEs; FY2024 jumped to $897 thousand across 5.7 FTEs; FY2025 invoicing stands at $2.7 million across 8.4 FTEs. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid hourly rates run around $85.73/hr, spanning from $78.02/hr at the tenth percentile to $93.45/hr at the ninety percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Chestnut performs substantially all delivery internally, with zero average sub-hours share. The vendor operates a subsidiary, Chestnut Resolutions Inc NFP, structured as a nonprofit organization.
Chestnut's sub-recipient role spans multiple SAMHSA block grants and NIDA research awards. The Illinois Department of Human Services has passed through over 50 federal awards to Chestnut covering Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services, Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse, Personal Responsibility Education Program (CFDA 93.674), and Social Services Block Grant funding (CFDA 93.667). Chestnut subcontracts on research and evaluation work for university-led implementation science projects led by Stanford, University of Connecticut, University of Miami, Oregon Social Learning Center, and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, contributing expertise in implementation measurement, fidelity assessment, data management, and qualitative research design focused on opioid use disorder treatment, substance use prevention, and behavioral health innovation. The organization also serves as sub-recipient to state mental health authorities and public health agencies in Oregon and Oklahoma for training and technical assistance on substance use prevention and recovery support.
Awards per year show growth from 18 in 2022 to 122 in 2024, followed by a recent tapering (57 in 2025, 31 in 2026 through early October), consistent with the heavy concentration of HUD Continuum of Care awards that renew annually and fluctuate by funding cycle. Twelve awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete activity, primarily among HUD CoC grants and NIDA research projects.
