Mental Health Services-Erie County South East Corporation V

Mental Health Services-Erie County South East Corporation V, doing business as Mental Health Services Of Erie County So, is a nonprofit organization based in Orchard Park, New York, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on homelessness prevention, mental health services, and opioid use disorder treatment in Western New York. The organization operates entirely as a prime recipient (72% of recent awards) and subrecipient (28%) on federal grants rather than federal contracts, with no federal contract prime awards and no participation in government-wide contracting vehicles.

The organization's federal footprint concentrates heavily on HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 21 of 29 total awards across the source period, representing the dominant customer relationship. Recent CoC Program awards include a $721,774 project grant effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, supporting permanent supportive housing for individuals with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, and supportive services for homeless populations in Erie County. A second CoC award of $128,887 runs October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Prior-year CoC awards range from $114,929 to $669,176, with annual awards documented from 2022 through 2026. Beyond HUD, the organization holds grant awards from the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), totaling seven awards covering medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder and behavioral health crisis centers. A $1.2 million SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment project grant runs September 30, 2021 through September 29, 2026, supporting medication-assisted treatment expansion, data-waiver provider training, telehealth access, and jail outreach across a 10-county rural Western New York catchment area. A separate SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services grant for crisis center expansion in underserved rural communities ran August 31, 2021 through August 30, 2023.

The organization also functions as a subrecipient under awards from the Erie County Department of Mental Health and New York State Office of Mental Health, receiving subawards for permanent supportive housing and support services, intensive community services, workforce recruitment and retention, and transitional safety units. Combined dollars obligated across all 29 prime and sub awards total $22.1 million over the source period. Activity has remained relatively flat—three awards per year in 2022, 2023, and 2024, declining to two in 2025 and one in 2026. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete opportunities tied to the organization's CoC and SAMHSA portfolios.
