Child Inc.

Child Inc., a Delaware-based tax-exempt nonprofit, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient to operate domestic violence shelters, runaway and homeless youth emergency services, and permanent supportive housing programs in Delaware. The organization splits evenly between prime grant awards (50%) and sub-awards routed through state agencies (50%), with no federal contracting footprint — all federal revenue derives from discretionary project grants under HUD's Continuum of Care program, DOJ's Crime Victim Assistance program, and HHS's runaway and homeless youth initiatives.

Child Inc.'s grant portfolio centers on three core capability areas. First, it operates Continuum of Care permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing projects in Bellefonte, Delaware, funded by HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (CFDA 14.267), with seven consecutive annual awards from 2023 through 2026, most recently $760,990 awarded July 1, 2026, for operations through June 30, 2027. Second, it delivers domestic violence victim services through DOJ's Crime Victim Assistance program (CFDA 16.582), including a $500,000 project grant awarded October 1, 2025, to expand domestic violence–community health worker services in New Castle County through September 30, 2028, with dually trained staff providing safety planning, case management, and referrals to shelter and rapid rehousing. Third, it operates a runaway and homeless youth Basic Center Program funded by HHS Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.623), providing emergency shelter for up to 21 days, food, clothing, crisis counseling, and health care referrals to youth under 18; the most recent award of $504,958 on September 30, 2025, runs through September 29, 2028, with potential for non-competing continuations in subsequent years.

Child Inc.'s customer concentration aligns with its service mission. Eight awards from DOJ's Victims of Crime program, seven from HUD's Community Planning and Development office, and combined four or three awards from HHS Administration for Children and Families account for 80% of recent activity. Sub-award activity routes through the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services and the Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware, funding community mental health, substance abuse prevention and treatment, domestic violence shelter operations, clinical therapy for abuse victims, and legal advocacy for domestic violence victims across Delaware's three family courts.

Activity accelerated from one award in 2023 to eleven in 2025, with only one award recorded in 2026 to date. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure for the HUD and HHS base programs. Child Inc. operates exclusively in Delaware with no multistate or national scope; all grant work is performed in or coordinated through Bellefonte or New Castle County.
