New Horizons Community Service Board

New Horizons Community Service Board, a U.S. state government entity and public corporation under Georgia law, operates as a federal grant recipient providing behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment and recovery services, and homeless housing and supportive services across rural West Central Georgia as both a prime recipient (47% of awards) and sub-recipient (53% of awards). The organization is headquartered in Columbus, Georgia and serves a primary eight-county service area spanning Chattahoochee, Clay, Harris, Muscogee, Randolph, Quitman, Stewart, and Talbot Counties, with over forty years of operational history as the regional community mental health center.

New Horizons holds a consistent footprint in two federal grant programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which accounts for 31 of the 88 total awards in the source data. Recent CoC grants include a $123,701 project award for January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026 supporting permanent supportive housing for individuals with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems infrastructure across the eight-county region. The Health Resources and Services Administration's Federal Office of Rural Health Policy awarded a $300,000 Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) grant (CFDA 93.912) dated September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026 for the "Closing the Gaps in SOWEGA" initiative, delivering substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery services targeting farmers and agricultural workers in Randolph, Clay, Stewart, Quitman, and Talbot Counties plus Census Tract 202.06 in Chattahoochee County. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funded a project titled "Recovery, Resiliency, Restoration" dated September 30, 2021 through September 29, 2023, which provided mental health and addictive disease services including telehealth expansion, medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorders, and enhanced care for persons with serious emotional disturbance and serious mental illness. An earlier Rural Utilities Service grant for substance use disorder medical services ran September 15, 2021 through September 15, 2023.

HUD's CoC program and SAMHSA dominate the customer mix. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 31 awards in the source data; SAMHSA (across three component lines in the portfolio) accounts for 47 awards collectively, encompassing the Center for Mental Health Services and Rural Health Policy fundings. The two customers represent 90% of award volume. New Horizons also receives sub-awards from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities and the Georgia Housing and Finance Authority for early treatment programs, assisted outpatient treatment, behavioral health services, and permanent housing initiatives. Only two awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The organization obligated $44 million across 88 awards in the source data spanning 2007 to 2026, with activity trending upward in recent years—seventeen awards in 2025 and declining to two by mid-2026 within the source snapshot window.
