City Of Albuquerque

City Of Albuquerque Family & Community Services Division, doing business as Dept Of Family & Community Services, is a U.S. local government entity that acts as a prime recipient of federal grants for homelessness intervention, affordable housing, community development, and behavioral health services in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The division is a subsidiary of the City Of Albuquerque and receives 98% of its recent awards as a prime grant recipient, with negligible sub-award activity.

The division's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (145 awards, 96% of all awards across the portfolio). HUD funds flow through four primary grant programs: the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which dominates the portfolio and funds permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services; the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231), which covers street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, and rapid rehousing; the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), a formula grant supporting affordable housing expansion and rehabilitation; and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) entitlement grants for community development and housing activities. Secondary federal partners include the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (which funded a medical sobering center and overdose prevention and recovery support project), the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (People's Garden Initiative), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Recent representative awards include three Continuum of Care Program project grants in July 2026 totaling $3.565 million for permanent housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services; a $1.957 billion HOME Investment Partnerships Program formula grant awarded December 2025 running through September 2034; and a $371,047 Emergency Solutions Grant awarded December 2025 for street outreach, emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, and rapid rehousing. The division also received a $2 million Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration grant for opioid response training and Naloxone distribution and a Community Project Funding grant supporting a medical sobering center for first-responder diversion.

The division operates as a United Funding Agency and pass-through entity, managing sub-awards to nonprofit partners including Sol Housing, Enlace Comunitario, Therapeutic Living Services Inc., Cuidando LOS Ninos Inc., the New Mexico Coalition To End Homelessness, and the New Mexico Dream Center to deliver street outreach, emergency shelter, case management, HMIS implementation, transitional and permanent supportive housing, and rapid rehousing services. Award volume peaked in 2023 with twelve awards and has moderated to three awards in 2026 year-to-date. Six awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure in homelessness intervention and affordable housing programming. The division's capability footprint centers on community-wide homelessness coordination, emergency and transitional shelter operations, permanent supportive housing development and management, rapid rehousing and homelessness prevention, behavioral health and substance use disorder diversion and treatment linkage, and affordable housing production and rehabilitation for low-to-moderate income households.
