Heartland Family Service

Heartland Family Service, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, functions as a federal grant recipient delivering homeless services, domestic violence intervention, human trafficking survivor support, and substance use disorder treatment across Nebraska and Iowa. The organization operates as a prime grant recipient on 108 awards (82% of recent activity) and as a subrecipient on 24 federal grants (18%), with no presence in federal contracting or IDVs.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) dominates Heartland Family Service's federal portfolio, accounting for 93 of 116 prime and sub awards tracked across the source. Recent CoC awards include $1.9 million for permanent housing rapid rehousing and transitional housing services (award date September 1, 2026, performance through August 31, 2027), $1.1 million for permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing operations (January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026), and $511 thousand for domestic violence survivor rapid rehousing and supportive services (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026). Beyond homelessness, Heartland Family Service received $524,995 from the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for the Family Works residential treatment program (CFDA 93.490), serving pregnant and postpartum women with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders across Nebraska and Iowa from September 30, 2026, through September 30, 2030. The organization also holds a $949,986 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime (CFDA 16.320) for the Sanctuary's Human Trafficking Survivor Service Enhancement and Services Expansion Project, running October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2027, with partnerships including the Immigrant Legal + Refugee Empowerment Center. A $300 thousand Drug Endangered Children Coalition grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (award date September 30, 2023, completion September 29, 2028) targets school-age youth in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.

Heartland Family Service serves 11 distinct federal agencies, with concentration sharply weighted to HUD's Community Planning and Development office (88% of awards). Department of Justice Victims of Crime (10 awards), the Office on Violence Against Women (6 awards), and SAMHSA (4 awards) comprise the secondary customer base. The organization operates as a subrecipient under state administering agencies, including the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, and Iowa State Department of Justice, delivering services to victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, human trafficking, and homelessness through federal pass-through funding. Activity has grown from five awards in 2022 to sixteen in 2025, with nine awards in the current year. Only four awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, suggesting modest near-term recompete exposure relative to the scale of the active portfolio. The organization operates exclusively in the grants space, with no competing contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs in the federal system.
