About the company
Families First Counseling Services Of Iowa, L.l.c is a sub-recipient on federal grants funding family-centered services in Iowa, delivering preventive and preservation casework under the Family First Prevention Services Act. The company is a for-profit limited liability partnership based in Waterloo, Iowa, operating exclusively as a sub-recipient (100% of recent awards) rather than as a prime contractor or grant prime recipient.
The vendor's federal footprint is concentrated entirely with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, channeled through the Iowa Department of Human Services as prime grantee. Families First has received four sub-awards since July 2025, all structured as renewals or replacements of the same underlying Family First Prevention Services Act grant work. The awards total $17.3 million in combined obligated dollars and cover three regional service areas: Cedar Rapids (both a July 2025 and July 2026 sub-award), Eastern Iowa (July 2026), and Northern Iowa (July 2026).
The scope of work across all four sub-awards is uniform and focused. Families First delivers family-centered services encompassing family casework, family-focused meeting facilitation, family preservation services with child safety conference facilitation, SafeCare programming, post-removal conference facilitation, and family interactions. This work aligns with the preventive and family-first objectives of the Family First Prevention Services Act, signed into law in February 2018 as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act.
Activity has grown from one award in 2025 to three in 2026, signaling contract renewal momentum in the Cedar Rapids, Eastern Iowa, and Northern Iowa service territories. All awards carry July effective dates and appear to operate on annual renewal cycles. The vendor has no visible presence on federal contract vehicles, IDIQs, or other federal agency grant programs outside HHS ACF.
