Help Community Violence Intervention Program

Help Community Violence Intervention Program is a tax-exempt community development corporation and limited liability company based in Saginaw, Michigan, that operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs focused on criminal-justice diversion and violence intervention — not as a prime contractor or IDV holder. The vendor holds no federal contracts; all recent federal activity consists of sub-grant awards under Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention programs passed through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

The vendor's current federal footprint is minimal and nascent. Three sub-grant awards totaling $359 thousand have been obligated between February and October 2025, all under the Pre-Arrest Jail Diversion program for fiscal years 2025 and 2026. The awards flow through Michigan DHHS as the prime grantee, with Help Community Violence Intervention Program delivering program services as a sub-recipient. Customer concentration is complete — the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention accounts for 100% of recent awards by count and value — reflecting work performed within a single state-administered federal grant stream. No parent vehicles, no prime contracting relationships, and no multi-agency customer distribution characterize the current portfolio. The organization competes in the grant sub-recipient space rather than in federal procurement vehicles open to contractors; accordingly, set-aside certifications and NAICS framing do not apply to this entity's federal activity model.
