Citizens Against Physical And Sexual Abuse Inc.

Citizens Against Physical And Sexual Abuse Inc., operating as Community Abuse Prevention Services Agency (CAPSA), is a nonprofit domestic shelter and victim-services organization based in Logan, Utah, that acts as a federal grant recipient for domestic violence prevention, transitional housing, and criminal justice system improvement programs, with roughly equal work distributed between prime grant awards (52% of recent awards) and sub-grants under state pass-through agencies (48%).

CAPSA's capability portfolio centers on emergency shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, and advocacy services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence, supplemented by transitional housing operations, court advocacy, trauma-informed youth programming, and coordinated community-response capacity building. Recent prime grant work includes a $600,000 three-year Transitional Housing Assistance Grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.736), effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027, funding eight clustered and scattered-site transitional housing units and holistic support services for up to 21 survivors in partnership with five community organizations; a $600,000 three-year Justice Systems Response to Families grant from DOJ OVW (CFDA 16.021), effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, supporting a court advocate and project facilitator to improve civil and criminal justice responses in Cache County; and a $500,000 three-year grant under DOJ OVW's Consolidated And Technical Assistance Grant Program addressing children and youth experiencing domestic and sexual violence (CFDA 16.888), effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2026, delivered in partnership with the Cache County School District and Cache Refugee And Immigrant Connection. CAPSA also holds two HUD Continuum of Care Program awards (CFDA 14.267) for homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services to survivors, with a $177,909 award effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, and a prior $168,299 award covering December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2025.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed to violence-against-women and victims-of-crime grantors. The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women accounts for 16 awards across the portfolio, the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime for 6 awards, and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development for 3 awards, collectively representing 97% of the award count. CAPSA also receives sub-grant pass-through funding from the State of Utah Office For Victims Of Crime and the Idaho Department Of Health & Welfare, with recent sub-awards (2023–2026) focused on direct victim services, economic stability, and protective environment strengthening in rural Utah and Idaho counties.

Activity has fluctuated year to year—one award in 2022, six each in 2023 and 2024, seven in 2025, and one recorded in 2026—with combined dollars obligated of $9.4 million across all awards. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating moderate recompete exposure. CAPSA operates entirely in the grant-funded nonprofit space; the organization holds no federal prime contracts and no seats on government-wide vehicles. Its operating geography remains concentrated in Logan, Utah and surrounding Cache County, with sub-grant work extending into rural Franklin, Bear Lake, and other Idaho and Utah counties.
