Inwood Community Services, Inc.

Inwood Community Services, Inc. is a New York-based nonprofit organization that operates as a federal grant recipient, delivering community behavioral health, mental health, and substance abuse treatment services to lower-income and immigrant populations in Upper Manhattan. The organization is structured as a tax-exempt corporate entity and has received federal grant funding as both a prime recipient and sub-recipient across the Department of Health and Human Services.

The organization's primary federal work centers on community behavioral health service expansion through the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model. As a prime recipient, Inwood received a Project Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded August 31, 2021, with ultimate completion date of June 30, 2024. That award funded the establishment of the ICS Family Life Center, which expanded outpatient mental health and chemical dependency clinics into an integrated facility serving 200 clients in year one (125 adults, 75 children) with 10,000 units of service, scaling to 250 clients (150 adults, 100 children) with 15,000 units of service in year two. The expansion included intensive case management with culturally competent, bilingual staff; individual, group, and family counseling; afterhours crisis services; and concrete assistance with housing, medical care coordination, and entitlements support.

Inwood's federal award footprint spans six awards (three prime, three sub) totaling $10 million obligated since 2004, with substantial concentration in SAMHSA. The organization also operates as a sub-recipient under New York State Office of Mental Health grants, with sub-awards for workforce recruitment and retention (April 2022) and a sub-award under the Addiction Services & Supports New York State Office for electronic medical records implementation (July 2024). The organization serves a single primary federal customer agency (HHS/SAMHSA) across most of its documented federal activity, with one award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
