About the company
Mercyfirst, doing business as ST Marys Children & Family Services, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Syosset, New York, that operates as a prime recipient of federal grants for residential shelter, foster care, and post-release services serving unaccompanied alien children arriving in the United States. The vendor operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem — no federal contracts — with a mixed portfolio of 11 prime grants (55% of awards) and 9 grant sub-awards (45%), funded primarily by the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
Mercyfirst's principal funding stream flows from ORR cooperative agreements under CFDA 93.566 (Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs). Recent prime grants include a $3.72 million cooperative agreement effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029 for residential shelter and group home services for unaccompanied alien children; a long-term foster care (LTFC) cooperative agreement running January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026; and a prior cooperative agreement from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026 for shelter and transitional foster care services across licensed and state-exempt facilities in multiple jurisdictions. Each award funds housing, medical examinations, education, mental health support, case management, and sponsor identification and vetting services. Mercyfirst also holds historical grants for home study and post-release services for unaccompanied alien children. In its sub-award capacity, Mercyfirst receives pass-through funding from the Board of Child Care of the United Methodist Church Inc. — including quarterly allocations for home study and post-release services (recent awards include $613,735 for FY26 first and second quarter funds, and a full FY25 approved budget of $1,191,754) — and from the New York State Education Department for Child Nutrition Program (CNP) block consolidated funding.
Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 16 of 20 awards (80% of volume across prime and sub). The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service placed 3 awards. Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters placed 1 award. Mercyfirst obligated $249.7 million across its entire federal grant portfolio. Activity shows irregular frequency — 2 awards in 2021, 3 in 2023, 5 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 — with one prime award facing completion within the next twenty-four months. Mercyfirst operates exclusively in the residential care and child welfare services space under federal grant programs; it has no presence in federal contracting vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs.
