Family Crisis Intervention CEN

Family Crisis Intervention CEN, a tax-exempt non-profit domestic shelter based in Parkersburg, West Virginia, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering homelessness intervention, domestic violence protective services, and housing assistance to vulnerable populations in Calhoun and Roane Counties. The organization's federal footprint is almost entirely sub-recipient work (96% of recent awards, 46 of 48 total); its two prime awards are project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267).

Family Crisis Intervention CEN's grant portfolio centers on two distinct funding streams. As a prime grant recipient, the organization holds two consecutive annual CoC awards from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development: $117,798 for the performance period December 1, 2024 through November 30, 2025 (completed), and $130,852 for the performance period December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026 (current). Both awards fund case management, housing assistance, protective services, and advocacy support for persons experiencing homelessness and domestic violence, with explicit focus on rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and homelessness prevention activities under the CoC Program's five eligible components.

As a sub-recipient, Family Crisis Intervention CEN receives 46 awards flowing through two West Virginia state agencies: the West Virginia Department of Education (40 awards) and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Services (6 awards, split between the main department and its former designation as the Department of Health and Human Resources). The Department of Education awards are monthly Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) reimbursements for meal provision and cash-in-lieu reimbursement, dating back to at least 2024 and continuing through May 2026. The Department of Health and Human Services awards fund protective services for victims of domestic violence and their families, with sub-awards visible in August 2021, February 2024, October 2024, and August 2025. Combined dollars obligated across all prime and sub awards total $777 thousand over the visible award period. Activity accelerated sharply in 2024 and 2025 — from one award per year in 2020 and 2021 to ten awards in 2024 and twenty-six in 2025 — driven by the monthly CACFP reimbursement schedule. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date inside the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the near term.
