Family Life Center, Inc.

Family Life Center, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Kahului, Hawaii, operates as a prime recipient of federal homelessness-prevention and housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with a minor sub-recipient presence across a tightly concentrated customer base. The organization holds no federal contracts and does not operate as a contractor; all federal funding flows through HUD grants under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267).

Family Life Center delivers emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention to homeless individuals and families across Maui and Kauai counties. The organization has received continuous HUD Continuum of Care Project Grants since at least 2021, with recent prime awards including $1,307,749 (August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027), $1,040,517 (August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2025), and $657,301 (August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024). Eligible activities encompass COC planning, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, new construction, leasing, operating expenses, and supportive services delivery. Family Life Center also operates as a sub-recipient: under a Special Notice of Funding Opportunity grant awarded to the County of Maui, the organization provides the Maui Street Outreach Program, delivering outreach services for homeless individuals in wildfire disaster areas, with a sub-award value of $195,000 (awarded November 1, 2023).

Customer concentration is absolute — all 22 awards over the source period come from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, representing the full portfolio (100% of awards). Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $8.4 million. Prime awards account for 95% of the footprint; the organization operates as a sub-recipient on one grant. Activity has remained stable at two to four awards per year over the past five years, with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (September 30, 2026), creating minimal recompete pressure in the near term. Work is performed at the Kahului, Hawaii location (95 Kane Street) with operations extending across Maui and Kauai counties. The organization works with partners including the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation and the County of Kauai to deliver services.
