Interfaith Community Services, Inc.

Interfaith Community Services, Inc., a nonprofit organization headquartered in Escondido, California, receives federal contract awards and grant funding to deliver transitional housing, recuperative care, and supportive services for homeless individuals, veterans, and low-income populations, operating as a prime recipient on all tracked federal awards with no set-aside designations.

Interfaith's federal footprint is heavily weighted toward grant work (82 of 128 total awards are Continuum of Care Program grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, CFDA 14.267), with a concentrated contract base anchored by the Veterans Health Administration. The organization holds a $7.26 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract from VA VISN 22 (Veterans Integrated Service Network 22), running through September 2028, for Healthcare for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Recuperative Care Transitional Housing Services in San Diego, California. This contract has generated six delivery orders totaling $5.4 million in combined potential value, including a $1.448 million firm fixed-price delivery order awarded in September 2025 and a $1.309 million order from the prior fiscal year. Complementary federal work includes Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) matching grants from the Internal Revenue Service (CFDA 21.009) — $133,573 awarded in October 2025 and $119,477 awarded in October 2024 — to support free tax preparation and electronic filing for low- to moderate-income populations in California. The organization also received a $130,796 AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Demonstration Program grant (CFDA 94.017) from the Corporation for National and Community Service in April 2022 to fund workforce development, financial literacy, and education programs in Pima County, Arizona. A $2.24 million Recovery and Wellness Center Treatment to Housing grant from SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, awarded in September 2023 and running through September 2028, addresses fentanyl-related deaths and substance-use disorder treatment barriers for homeless populations in San Diego County with mobile outreach, detox coordination, and housing stability case management.

Customer concentration sits overwhelmingly with HUD's Community Planning and Development office (82 awards, though dollar value is not separately itemized in the portfolio-level ranking), followed by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 (26 awards, $34.9 million combined potential value), the Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service (8 awards), and the Internal Revenue Service (8 awards). The top five customers account for 84 percent of award count. HUD dominates in award frequency through recurring annual CoC Program funding cycles; VA VISN 22 anchors the contract dollars through the standing IDIQ and associated delivery orders. Interfaith also acts as a sub-recipient on grant awards distributed by the County of San Diego (Emergency Solutions Grant sub-awards for shelter and homelessness prevention, with seven sub-awards dated between July 2021 and November 2025).

Parent-vehicle activity is driven by five VA indefinite-delivery contracts: VA26212D0144 (6 task orders, $5.4 million combined potential value), 36C26218D0137 (5 task orders, $3.3 million), 36C26223D0115 (3 task orders, $3.7 million), VA262P0438 (3 task orders, $970 thousand), and 36C26220D0054 (2 task orders, $307 thousand). These vehicles track Interfaith's contract work; the grant portfolio operates outside IDV structures. Award activity remained steady over the past five years (8 to 10 awards annually from 2021 through 2025), with four awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and carrying combined potential value of $1.4 million, representing moderate recompete exposure.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold totaled $715 thousand in FY2023 and $939 thousand in FY2024 (9.2 and 9.6 FTEs respectively), covering roughly 7 SCI-reportable service contracts. On these prime contracts, Interfaith delivers services in-house with no named subcontractor engagement; median government-paid hourly rates ran around $42.01 per hour, with senior labor priced through $62.25 per hour. The SCI dataset captures a partial view of Interfaith's federal services revenue and excludes grant funding, goods, and non-federal work. Primary NAICS concentration sits with Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities (27 awards) and Other Community Housing Services (4 awards), reflecting the organization's homelessness and behavioral health service portfolio. Interfaith operates as a prime on 94 percent of tracked awards; the 6 percent sub-award footprint consists of grant sub-receipts from the County of San Diego rather than commercial subcontracting relationships.
