About the company
Community Action Center, Inc. operates as a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization that serves as a federal grant sub-recipient (93% of recent awards) supporting substance abuse disorder recovery, food security, and human services programs delivered through state social-service agencies. The organization holds a single federal grant prime award from the Office of the National Drug Control Policy and receives the vast majority of its federal funding as a pass-through sub-recipient from state departments of human services, agriculture, children and youth, education, and public safety.
The vendor's federal footprint is narrow and state-intermediated. Thirteen of fourteen awards in the source are sub-awards flowing through Minnesota state agencies as prime grantees. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for nine awards (64% of the sub-award volume), routed through the Minnesota Department of Human Services and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture as intermediate grantees. The prime award — a $1.9 million project grant from the Office of the National Drug Control Policy — funds placement of a full-time substance abuse disorder recovery specialist in an alternative-curriculum high school in Northfield, Minnesota, running from June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2025. The specialist offers trauma-responsive relational support and clinical and social service referrals to students at the Area Learning Center, where an estimated 20–25 percent of 137 students use illicit substances daily. Community Action Center pairs this youth-focused recovery work with existing adult substance abuse disorder recovery services and an established presence at the school.
Activity has been episodic. Two awards in 2021 and 2022 each, two in 2022, five in 2023 (including the ONDCP prime), and one documented in 2024, with no awards visible in 2025. The combined obligated dollars across all fourteen awards total $1.9 million, reflecting the sub-award structure and the modest scale of individual pass-through grants for SNAP administration and direct social services. Community Action Center's secondary work includes a local farm-to-food-shelf partnership funded through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, purchasing from socially disadvantaged and emerging farmers to distribute food to underserved communities under the Local Food Promotion Act.
