Rolling Plains Management Corp

Rolling Plains Management Corp, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Crowell, Texas, delivers federal grant-funded community services including rural housing rehabilitation, early childhood development, public transportation and mobility management, and energy assistance programs as a prime recipient of federal grants (22% of awards) and as a sub-recipient under state and local prime grantees (78% of awards).

Rolling Plains operates exclusively through federal grant programs rather than federal contracts. As a prime recipient, the organization has received nine federal grants from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (Office of Head Start) for Head Start and Early Head Start–Child Care Partnership programs, running through 2029; six grants from the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service for Rural Housing Preservation Grants supporting home repair and accessibility modifications in a nine-county Texas service area (Archer, Baylor, Cottle, Foard, Hardeman, Jack, Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young Counties), with recent awards of $121,778 (awarded August 29, 2026, completion October 29, 2027) and earlier grants through February 2028; and a single Department of Veterans Affairs grant for innovative transportation services to VA Medical Centers in highly rural areas (awarded September 15, 2021, completed September 14, 2022). Combined obligated dollars across all federal sources total $159.4 million.

The organization's sub-recipient footprint is substantially larger, reflecting its role as an implementing partner under state and local grant administrators. Rolling Plains serves as a sub-recipient under the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for Community Services Block Grants, Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program, Weatherization Assistance Program (Department of Energy-funded), and rental-assistance pass-through grants. The organization also operates as a sub-recipient under the Texas Department of Transportation for Federal Transit Administration programs, delivering demand-response public transportation (Sharp Lines service across nine counties), mobility management services for elderly and disabled residents (with a reported 40% increase in demand driving investment in mobility managers), rural transit capital projects including vehicle replacement and parking/storage/wellness facility construction in Crowell, and ADA accessibility improvements. Sub-awards in the past eighteen months include recurring monthly rental-assistance awards and transit capital projects valued at $750,939 in FTA 5339 Discretionary funding plus $187,735 in state match (May 2025).

Activity has accelerated significantly, from one award in 2022 to 38 in 2024 and 34 in 2025, reflecting expansion of both prime and sub-recipient roles. Only three awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete exposure. The organization's customer concentration centers on the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (20 awards documented), with supporting roles from USDA Rural Housing Service and the Department of Energy through state pass-through arrangements.
