Family Service League, Inc.

Family Service League, Inc., doing business as Family Service League of Suffolk County, is a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Huntington, New York that receives federal grants as prime recipient for homelessness services and behavioral health programs, with secondary participation as a sub-recipient on state-administered mental health and crisis response initiatives. The organization does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem.

Family Service League's capability portfolio centers on integrated housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families, community-based mental health and substance use disorder treatment, suicide prevention, and mobile crisis response. As a prime recipient, the organization holds recurring annual Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (CFDA 14.267), delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, and HMIS operations across Suffolk County. The most recent CoC award, issued August 1, 2025 with ultimate completion July 31, 2026, carries $1.062 million in potential value. Family Service League is also a prime recipient under a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services grant awarded September 30, 2022 (ultimate completion September 29, 2026) to expand the Riverhead Community Behavioral Health Center and increase access to comprehensive, trauma-informed mental health and substance use disorder treatment for Suffolk County residents, including specialized mobile crisis response services operating 24/7/365. The organization previously held a SAMHSA-funded Suffolk County Suicide Prevention Program grant (August 15, 2021 through June 14, 2023) implementing the evidence-based Zero Suicide model across five hospitals, two domestic violence treatment programs, and ten Family Service League clinical sites.

Customer concentration is highly concentrated within two federal agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 25 of 41 total awards (61% of award count), while the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (across SAMHSA and CDC arms) accounts for the remaining awards at varying sub-counts. Combined potential value across all prime and sub awards totals $32.5 million.

Family Service League serves as a sub-recipient on eleven federal grants administered through the New York State Office of Mental Health, the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, and state addiction services offices. Sub-recipient work includes participation in the On-Track New York program supporting young people experiencing first-episode psychosis, the 988 Crisis Call Center Expansion providing behavioral health call center staffing, NYS OASAS Substance Opportunity and Recovery initiatives, intensive community services, and workforce retention and recruitment in behavioral health. These sub-awards are issued through state prime grantees rather than directly from the federal government and reflect a significant embedded role in New York's integrated mental health and crisis response infrastructure.

Activity shows recent growth: two awards in 2024 to six in 2025, with one award in 2026 so far. The recompete window across the next twenty-four months includes two awards reaching ultimate completion dates, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the grant portfolio's size.
