Mid-Coast Family Services

Mid-Coast Family Services, a nonprofit organization based in Victoria, Texas, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on homelessness intervention, domestic violence services, and crisis support, with roughly balanced activity between prime grants (49% of awards) and sub-awards (51%) from federal pass-through entities.

Mid-Coast Family Services' federal footprint centers almost entirely on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which accounts for 27 of 41 awards (75% coverage) across the organization's recent activity. The organization serves as a direct CoC grant recipient, delivering rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, and homelessness prevention services in the Victoria area. Recent CoC prime grants include $988,569 awarded August 1, 2025 (completion July 31, 2026), $317,743 awarded November 1, 2025 (completion October 31, 2026), $295,770 awarded November 1, 2024, and $871,914 awarded August 1, 2024. Beyond CoC, the organization receives federal pass-through funding from Texas state entities administering family violence prevention, substance abuse prevention, and victim services grants. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs' Victims of Crime program and the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and Administration for Children and Families collectively account for seven additional awards.

Mid-Coast Family Services' sub-award activity reflects its role as an implementing partner under state grant administration. The organization has received sub-awards from the Texas Governor's Office for victim services supporting family violence and sexual assault crisis counseling, legal advocacy, and hospital accompaniment; from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for family violence prevention, domestic violence shelter operations, substance abuse prevention, and rapid rehousing assistance; and from unnamed federal entities for homelessness prevention and day-center facility improvements. Recent sub-award examples include a November 5, 2025 victim services sub-award from the Texas Governor's Office, August 21, 2025 domestic violence shelter and supportive services sub-award from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and October 21, 2024 public facility sub-award for kitchen and laundry facility work at the organization's day center.

Activity has fluctuated across the past five years — five awards in 2021, declining to four in 2022, rising to eight in 2023, six in 2024, and seven in 2025 — with combined federal dollars obligated at $19.2 million across 55 total awards since 2007. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The organization operates a 24-hour crisis hotline and provides specialized support to individuals experiencing homelessness, families fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault and exploitation survivors, at-risk youth, and individuals with substance abuse and mental health service needs.
