Quinco Community Mental Health Center Inc.

Quinco Community Mental Health Center Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Bolivar, Tennessee, acts as a federal grant recipient and subrecipient delivering community mental health, substance abuse treatment, and homelessness-prevention services to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Health and Human Services. The organization competes as a prime recipient on HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) grants and as a subrecipient under Tennessee Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services grants, with no federal contract prime awards in its recent footprint.

Quinco's customer base is concentrated in two agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 25 of 49 total awards, anchored by annual CoC program grants. The Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for 11 awards. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration rounds out the active set with 8 awards combined across multiple sub-awards. The organization operates across social rehabilitation services (PSC classification), with the top category accounting for 10 awards.

As a CoC prime recipient, Quinco receives annual federal grants to establish and operate projects across five program components: permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Recent prime CoC awards include grants awarded July 1, 2026 (completion June 30, 2027), July 1, 2025 (completion June 30, 2026), July 1, 2024 (completion June 30, 2025), and recurring awards in 2023 and 2022, all from HUD's Community Planning and Development office. As a subrecipient under the Tennessee Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services, Quinco delivers adolescent substance use disorder services (including outpatient, day/evening, and residential treatment with co-occurring disorder support), older adult mental health care management, school-based behavioral health liaison services, the Better Attitudes and Skills in Children (B.A.S.I.C.) school-based early intervention program, planned respite care for families with children exhibiting serious emotional disturbance, and FEMA-funded disaster mental health crisis counseling under the Robert T. Stafford Act. Sub-awards span May 2024 through June 2026, with the most recent additions in May and June 2025.

Recent activity shows four awards in 2023, eight in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 (through mid-July). Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete pressure. Combined dollars obligated across all 49 awards total $4.6 million. Prime work comprises 73% of the award count; sub-awards represent 27%. The organization operates across five distinct federal agencies, with concentration in HUD and VA homelessness-prevention and veteran-serving mental health programming.
