Mental Health & Addiction Services Conne

Mental Health & Addiction Services Conne, a Connecticut state government entity within the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants, with 99% of its award portfolio in that posture, delivering tobacco regulatory compliance and inspection services, community mental health and substance abuse treatment coordination, and homelessness prevention and housing assistance across Connecticut. The organization is headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut and does not hold federal service contracts as a traditional contractor—it functions as a state fiscal agent and pass-through administrator for federal grants to local behavioral health and housing providers.

The bulk of Mental Health & Addiction Services Conne's recent federal footprint concentrates in two major areas. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) accounts for 793 awards across the source dataset, dominated by project grants supporting permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems. The organization also holds a substantial portfolio of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awards, including formula grants for community mental health services block funding (CFDA 93.958), substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery services block grants (CFDA 93.959), and the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness program (PATH, CFDA 93.150). Beyond housing and behavioral health, Mental Health & Addiction Services Conne holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) valued at $7.647 million through September 2029 for Connecticut tobacco retail inspections and compliance enforcement under the Tobacco Control Act; three delivery orders totaling $3.6 million have been issued to date, including a $1.433 million order awarded May 30, 2026.

Concentration is extreme: HUD's Continuum of Care awards represent approximately 85% of the award count and drive the majority of obligated dollars ($1.88 billion across all awards, representing a 9,054% obligated-to-potential ratio reflective of the pass-through, pass-through-to-subrecipient structure). SAMHSA awards account for the remainder of material volume. The organization serves ten distinct federal agencies, though HUD and HHS dominate decisively. Activity has remained relatively flat year over year (2022 through 2026 ranged from 46 to 67 awards annually), with 56 awards totaling $1.4 million in combined potential value completing within the next twenty-four months, exposing the recipient to recompete activity on Continuum of Care project grants and behavioral health block grants.

On Service Contract Inventory data, the organization reported $2.3 million in invoiced revenue across six SCI-reportable prime records spanning FY2023 and FY2024 (the only years with activity). SCI-reported workforce peaked at 5.6 FTEs in FY2023 and declined to 4.9 FTEs in FY2024; both fiscal years carried zero activity in FY2025. Government-paid hourly rates on these service contracts ran a narrow range from $101.74/hr (10th percentile) through $108.43/hr (median) to $108.43/hr (90th percentile), consistent with state agency labor rates. No subcontractors are named in the SCI dataset; the organization delivered all labor directly. The SCI footprint represents a small fraction of the organization's total federal activity and does not capture the vast majority of its grant dollars, which flow through as pass-through funding to sub-recipients rather than direct service delivery.

Mental Health & Addiction Services Conne operates as a child entity of the Secretary of State Connecticut office and distributes federal grant funds statewide to local treatment clinics, residential facilities, shelters, and housing programs. The organization does not hold positions on federal contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, GSA Schedules) and does not operate as a subcontractor to other primes in any material capacity (1% of awards are sub-awards, most dating to earlier grant cycles). Its mission is administrative and fiscal-agent-oriented rather than delivery-oriented; it is not a competitive prime on federal solicitations in the traditional sense but rather an automatic recipient of state-administered federal grant dollars.
