Community Solutions For Children, Families And Individuals

Community Solutions For Children, Families And Individuals, a California-based nonprofit, receives federal grants as the prime recipient for homelessness intervention, youth services, and victim support programs, while also serving as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs administered through state agencies. The organization operates exclusively in the grant space with no federal contract prime or subcontract awards; it is a tax-exempt nonprofit entity headquartered in Gilroy, California.

Community Solutions delivers concrete social services across three primary capability areas: homelessness prevention and housing assistance through the HUD Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), crisis intervention and case management for youth at risk and survivors of sexual exploitation, and comprehensive support services for domestic violence and crime victims. As a prime recipient, the organization holds nine HUD Continuum of Care grants totaling approximately $6.5 million in recent awards, including a $1.33 million Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program grant (January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026) supporting youth under age 24 in Gilroy, a $1.03 million CoC award (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027) funding permanent housing, rapid rehousing, and transitional housing components, and a $1.18 million CoC Domestic Violence Bonus grant (January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025) addressing homelessness among domestic violence survivors. Community Solutions also received a $1.18 million HUD CoC grant (January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025) supporting crisis intervention, screening, and case management for girls at risk for or experiencing commercial sexual exploitation in Santa Clara County, with screening using the Commercial Sexual Exploitation Identification Tool and professional training to probation officers, social workers, and behavioral health staff.

The organization's federal funding footprint is heavily weighted toward sub-recipient roles—66% of awards are sub-grants compared to 34% as prime recipient. Community Solutions receives sub-awards from the California Office of Emergency Services and California Department of Public Health supporting domestic violence emergency shelter, sexual assault victim services, victim advocacy in underserved communities, and community-level sexual violence prevention strategies using health-equity approaches. Recent sub-awards include domestic violence rapid rehousing, sexual assault response coordination, and sexual violence prevention implementation dated between October 2024 and September 2026.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The Department of Justice Office of Victims of Crime accounts for 18 awards (47% of the portfolio); the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development holds 9 awards (24%); and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families holds 7 awards (18%). The five top customers by award count represent 97% of all awards. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards stand at $17.5 million, with activity declining from 11 awards in 2024 to 5 in 2026 and 1 in 2027, indicating a tapering funding pipeline. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunity for the organization.
