Recent sub-awards document support for domestic violence shelter operations, transitional housing for crime victims, culturally appropriate victim services for underserved populations, coordinated community response protocols for domestic violence incidents, and comprehensive support services including emergency shelter, counseling, court accompaniment, and advocacy for domestic violence survivors and their children. Sub-awards span dates from October 2023 through January 2026.

Activity reflects four awards in 2026 and eight in 2025, down from 19 in 2024 and eight in 2023, with five awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing potential recompete. The organization maintains a federal grant footprint anchored exclusively in HUD's CoC program and related victim services funding streams, with no federal contracts or contract vehicles in its current portfolio.
