Family Resource Agency Inc.

Family Resource Agency Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Cleveland, Tennessee, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering early childhood education, family support services, and victim assistance programming under grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). The organization functions predominantly as a sub-recipient (76% of recent awards) flowing funding through state agencies, with a smaller prime-recipient footprint anchored to HHS Head Start grants.

The organization's prime federal grant portfolio centers on early childhood development and family services. Family Resource Agency Inc. received a $12.74 million Project Grant from HHS Office of Head Start (CFDA 93.600) effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2030, funding comprehensive Head Start and Early Head Start services including educational instruction, health and nutritional support, social-emotional development, and family engagement initiatives for low-income children and families. The organization also holds a prior Head Start and Early Head Start award (August 31, 2021 through August 31, 2026) and an Early Head Start–Child Care Partnership grant awarded September 1, 2024, completing August 31, 2029.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward USDA nutrition and HHS family services programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 36 awards across the portfolio, while the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime account for 13 awards. HHS Administration for Children and Families represents 19 awards combined. These three customer streams account for 100% of documented awards, reflecting deep engagement with federal nutrition, victim services, and early childhood programming.

Sub-award activity dominates the organization's footprint. Family Resource Agency Inc. receives monthly and quarterly sub-grant pass-throughs from the Tennessee Department of Human Services covering Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) reimbursement and CN Block Meals reimbursement, with monthly flows evident from 2022 through 2026. The organization also receives crime-victim assistance sub-awards from the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration under Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) programming, supporting domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and human trafficking victim services. These sub-awards flow from state administrative pass-through vehicles rather than direct federal contracts.

Activity accelerated sharply in 2024 and 2025—from four awards in 2022 to fourteen in 2024 and seventeen in 2025—driven primarily by monthly and quarterly nutrition reimbursement pass-throughs and victim-services sub-awards. Recompete exposure is minimal; only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The organization's federal footprint reflects a specialized niche in non-profit early childhood and victim-services delivery operating as a sub-recipient network node under state administrative vehicles, rather than direct federal contracting or competition for federal grant programs.
