Family Services Of Tulare County

Family Services Of Tulare County is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that operates as a recipient of federal grants focused on homelessness intervention, victim services, and housing assistance for vulnerable populations, with 72% of recent activity as direct federal grant recipient and 28% as sub-recipient of state and local pass-through grants. The organization has no federal contracts and competes exclusively in the grant space, with a concentration of $9 million in combined obligations across 78 awards since 2011, driven almost entirely by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care program (CFDA 14.267).

HUD's Continuum of Care Program dominates the federal footprint — 55 of 78 awards (covering 100% of prime recipients by count) flow through HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. Recent CoC grants include a $111,488 project grant effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, a $226,931 award obligated May 1, 2026, a $100,099 award effective May 1, 2026, and a $159,642 grant running November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026. These awards fund permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities across Tulare County and the Visalia area. Secondary federal presence includes 16 awards from the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs Office for Victims of Crime, 5 from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, and one each from DOJ's Office on Violence Against Women and the Office on Violence Against Women at the Office of Justice Programs, indicating a secondary capability in sexual assault victim services, child abuse treatment and counseling, and domestic violence support services.

Family Services Of Tulare County also sits as a subrecipient on 22 federal pass-through grants, primarily routed through California's Office of Emergency Services and the California Department of Public Health. Sub-recipient work covers victim services (sexual assault counseling, SART advocacy, domestic violence shelter and support), child abuse treatment, supervised visitation services, and HIV/AIDS housing assistance and supportive services. These sub-awards span DOJ Office for Victims of Crime grants, HHS Administration on Children, Youth and Families grants focused on family violence prevention and services, and housing opportunity programs for persons with AIDS.

Awards-per-year activity shows growth from 5 awards in 2022 to a peak of 13 in 2023, moderating to 11 in 2024 and 10 in 2025, with 3 awards recorded so far in 2026. Only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The organization operates as a direct HUD grant recipient focused on homelessness and housing stability services, with federal footprint expansion routed through victim services and family violence prevention work via state grant pass-throughs rather than direct federal prime awards.
