Phoenix House, Inc.

Phoenix House, Inc. The Phoenix House Of Tuscaloosa Division is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that operates as a sub-recipient on federal substance abuse treatment and opioid crisis response grants, with no prime contract or grant awards and no direct seat on federal contract vehicles.

Phoenix House operates entirely in a sub-recipient role across its recent federal footprint. The organization has received three federal grant sub-awards totaling $517 thousand since October 2022, all routed through substance abuse and mental health programs. Two sub-awards, obligated in October 2022, flowed through the Alabama Department of Mental Health and Rehabilitation for substance use treatment delivery. A third sub-award, dated October 25, 2024, came through the University of Alabama as prime grantee under the Responding to the Deep South's Opioid and Substance Use Crisis (ReDO) program. The top two funding sources by sub-award count are the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (2 awards) and the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Health Professionals (1 award), representing 100% of recent awards.

Activity has been modest and sporadic—two awards in 2022 and one in 2024—with no awards in the intervening years. Phoenix House's federal footprint reflects its operational role as a treatment and shelter provider embedded in state and university-led substance abuse initiatives rather than as an autonomous federal contractor or direct grantee. The organization does not compete on open market vehicles or hold its own federal grants; it derives federal support exclusively through sub-award channels tied to state mental health and public health agencies.
