About the company
Nami Chicago, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, receives federal grants for peer-led mental health support and recovery programming, operating as a prime grant recipient (33% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on state and local mental health initiatives (67% of recent awards).
Nami Chicago is one of the largest and most active local affiliates of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, operating since 1979. The organization's federal footprint centers on peer support and recovery services delivered by individuals living with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and family members with lived experience supporting others' mental health journeys. Core capabilities include peer-led recovery support groups, wellness recovery action plan (WRAP) coaching, mental health helpline support, recovery education training facilitation, and coordination of peer workforce development. Recent grant work includes a $1.3 million combined obligation across three awards: a prime project grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for a Mental Health Peer Support Program (awarded September 2022, completed September 2023); a sub-grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services for Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment (awarded December 2025); and a sub-grant from the City of Chicago for a Clinical Support Program focused on Chicago residents with mental health conditions and substance use disorders with complex physical, behavioral, and social needs not well-served through traditional crisis response systems (awarded January 2023).
Federal customer concentration is dispersed across three distinct agencies: the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance, and two separate SAMHSA funding streams within the Department of Health and Human Services. Activity is sparse — one award per year across 2022, 2023, and 2025 — reflecting a small grant recipient posture rather than a high-volume prime or subcontractor footprint. Nami Chicago's sub-recipient work routes through state-level (Illinois Department of Human Services) and municipal (City of Chicago) prime grantees rather than direct federal prime relationships.
