Parents And Children Together

Parents And Children Together, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Honolulu, Hawaii, serves as a prime recipient of federal grants for early childhood education, family support services, victim assistance, and youth workforce development, with the vast majority of its recent work (73% of awards) as a sub-recipient flowing through state and local grantees. The organization's federal footprint spans 165 awards dating to 1983, with $360 million in combined obligated dollars, concentrated in domestic violence victim services, Head Start and Early Head Start programming, child welfare family strengthening, and substance abuse prevention initiatives.

PACT's grant portfolio centers on the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Recent prime awards include a $12.36 million Head Start and Early Head Start project grant from HHS Office of Head Start (CFDA 93.600) running July 2026 through June 2031 to deliver comprehensive early childhood education and family support services across Hawaii; a $593,750 Transitional Housing Assistance grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.736, October 2024–September 2027) to operate two communal residences serving 25 domestic violence survivors and their families in partnership with the YWCA of Oahu, Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, and Kamaaina Kids; a $450,000 Financial Assistance to Victims of Domestic Violence grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.063, February 2025–January 2027) to provide flexible financial assistance for rent, utilities, transportation, healthcare, education, and other stability-focused needs to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking; and a $277,856 Continuum of Care grant from HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (CFDA 14.267, October 2024–September 2025) supporting transitional housing and targeted interventions including case management, job training, and education assistance for homeless individuals and families in the Honolulu area.

Activity has grown substantially in 2024 and 2025 — 50 awards in 2024 and 39 in 2025 — after a decline in 2023. PACT's sub-recipient footprint is extensive: the organization receives dozens of sub-awards annually from the Hawaii Department of Education (primarily Child and Adult Care Food Program pass-through funding), the Hawaii Department of Human Services (child welfare family strengthening, domestic violence support services, positive youth development, and in-home monitoring for families at risk of child abuse and neglect), the Hawaii Department of Health (substance misuse prevention and home visiting services), the Hawaii Attorney General's office (domestic violence victim services and legal aid support), and others. Recent sub-awards include trauma-informed counseling and case management for domestic violence survivors, comprehensive youth development services using evidence-based Positive Youth Development models in at-risk Oahu communities, emergency shelter and rapid re-housing for vulnerable individuals, child welfare differential response monitoring for families at risk, and acculturation and system-navigation services for immigrant families.

Two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure. PACT's service geography is primarily Hawaii-based, with operational focus on Oahu, the windward communities, and outer islands including Maui and Lanai. The organization collaborates with state agencies, local nonprofits, and community-based partners to deliver services addressing homelessness, domestic violence, child welfare, youth substance abuse prevention, and family economic self-sufficiency. Federal funding since 2005 has positioned PACT as an established recipient within Hawaii's social services infrastructure, drawing repeated awards from HHS, USDA, DOJ, HUD, the Department of Education, and the Department of Labor.
