Families In Crisis, Inc.

Families In Crisis, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Killeen, Texas, provides transitional housing, emergency shelter, case management, and supportive services for homeless veterans, homeless families, and domestic violence survivors to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of the Army as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor under indefinite delivery vehicles, with 79% of recent awards as prime and 21% as sub-recipient or subcontractor.

Families In Crisis operates in the domestic shelter and crisis intervention space, anchored by two federal contract and grant streams. On the contract side, the organization holds a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle from VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 17 (VISN 17), awarded December 1, 2024, with a ceiling of $1.733 million through November 2029, under which it delivers temporary emergency housing and supportive services for homeless veterans in Killeen and Temple, Texas. The IDV is structured as a firm-fixed-price vehicle with a base year running through November 2025 and four one-year options; two delivery orders have been issued to date, including a $343,100 order for option year one (December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026) and a $148,986 order for fiscal year 2025 base-year deobligation (through November 30, 2025). On the grant side, Families In Crisis is a prime recipient under the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) and the Department of Veterans Affairs' Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033), receiving multiple annual awards. Recent HUD CoC grants total approximately $1.193 million to $1.398 million per award year (fiscal 2026 and 2025 awards at $1.193 million and $1.398 million, respectively), funding permanent housing, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention in Killeen. VA SSVF grants, awarded annually, have ranged from $681,263 to $1.392 million, supporting outreach, case management, VA benefits assistance, public benefits coordination, and temporary financial assistance for rental, utilities, security deposits, and moving costs for very low-income veteran families.

Customer concentration is dominated by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. VISN 17 leads both award count and dollar value, with 17 awards totaling $7.4 million in combined potential value. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 21 awards (Continuum of Care grants), the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region holds 21 awards valued at $1 million, and the VA's Under Secretary for Health (SSVF program administrator) carries 14 awards. Combined, these top five customer entities account for 66% of awards and 100% of combined potential value. The organization also serves the Department of the Army through multiple smaller awards, likely supporting family services and crisis intervention at Fort Hood and subordinate Army installations in the Southwest region.

Families In Crisis holds five active indefinite delivery vehicles: a primary VA VISN 17 IDV (W9115104D0025 with 15 task orders, $81,000 combined potential value), an Army IDV (DAKF4800D0004 with 13 task orders), a GSA schedule or region-wide Army vehicle (36C25720D0020 with 5 task orders, $922,000), a VA national SSVF-related vehicle (VA25713D0159 with 5 task orders, $600,000), and another Army regional vehicle (W9115110D0007 with 5 task orders, $185,000). The contract vehicle portfolio reflects the organization's positioning within VA and Army homeless services and family support networks rather than full-and-open federal procurement.

Activity has averaged 8 awards per year over the past five years, with modest growth in 2025 (10 awards) and a slight decline in 2026 to date (8 awards). Across the full awards portfolio, combined potential value stands at $8.5 million against $35.7 million in combined obligations—a 421% ratio indicating substantial re-obligation and deobligation of excess funds across multiple fiscal years, characteristic of federal grant and contract vehicles operating on annual cycles with carryover. Only three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $343,000, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window.

In its subcontractor and sub-recipient roles, Families In Crisis delivers domestic violence victim services and emergency assistance under pass-through funding from the Health and Human Services Commission of Texas (Family Violence Prevention and Services grants) and the Texas Office of the Governor (victim intervention and homelessness prevention programs). Multiple sub-awards spanning 2021 through 2026 support 24-hour crisis hotlines, safety planning, counseling, emergency housing assistance, and victim advocacy in Bell, Coryell, and Hutchinson counties, with particular emphasis on serving crime victims and domestic violence survivors in the Fort Hood vicinity.

The organization's work concentrates in temporary shelters (NAICS 624221, 60 awards) and social services support—primarily professional support and social rehabilitation services (41 awards in PSC code for support-professional services, 6 awards in social rehabilitation). All federal contract and grant work carries no small business set-aside designation and is awarded to the nonprofit on a full-and-open basis, reflecting its standing as an established regional provider of veteran and family homelessness services recognized by VA and HUD for sustained performance.
