Del Norte Senior Center, Inc.

Del Norte Senior Center, Inc., a California tax-exempt nonprofit, receives federal funding exclusively as a sub-recipient under Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) grants, delivering weatherization assistance and home energy crisis intervention services to low-income households in its assigned service area in northern California.

Del Norte Senior Center operates entirely in the grant sub-award channel, with no prime contract or IDV awards and no direct federal contracting relationships. All five tracked awards flow through the Department of Community Services and Development California as the prime grantee, which administers LIHEAP on behalf of the federal government under Title 42 U.S.C. § 8621 et seq. The organization's federal activity concentrates in a single customer agency — the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families — which funds LIHEAP; the California CSD channels those federal dollars to Del Norte Senior Center as a sub-recipient. Combined federal dollars obligated across all five sub-awards total $2.7 million.

Del Norte Senior Center's service scope covers weatherization, home energy assistance, and energy crisis intervention program (ECIP) services to eligible households meeting LIHEAP income and energy-cost criteria, administered under California Government Code § 16367.5 et seq. in addition to federal statutory requirements. Recent sub-awards span May 2024 through May 2026, with frequency of roughly one award per six to eight months. The organization operates from headquarters in Crescent City, California (Del Norte County), and serves low-income households within its assigned regional service area under LIHEAP's prioritization framework — which directs assistance first to households with the lowest incomes and highest energy costs or needs.
