Safe Embrace

Safe Embrace, doing business as Victorious In His Sight, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Reno, Nevada, that serves as a federal grant recipient delivering domestic violence shelter, emergency housing, and supportive services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The organization operates primarily as a grant recipient (79% of recent awards) and secondarily as a sub-recipient of state agency grants.

Safe Embrace's grant portfolio centers on two federal programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice. The HUD Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) anchors the bulk of activity, funding transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, emergency shelter, case management, counseling, crisis intervention, and prevention education. Safe Embrace has received twelve Continuum of Care grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development since 2021, with recent awards including a $439,381 project grant effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, a $408,417 project grant awarded October 1, 2024, and a $263,369 project grant awarded July 1, 2024. The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (34 U.S.C. 12351) funds a Transitional Housing Assistance grant awarded October 1, 2022 with ultimate completion on June 30, 2026, supporting six to twenty-four months of transitional housing and survivor-centered support services. Safe Embrace also receives sub-awards from the Nevada Division of Child and Family Services, serving as a sub-recipient on state-administered domestic violence and victim assistance grants; recent sub-awards include grants awarded December 2, 2025 and January 9, 2025 focused on emergency shelter access and survivor-centered crisis intervention services.

Customer concentration is high. HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 100% of coverage in the top-customer ranking, issuing twelve awards totaling the bulk of Safe Embrace's combined obligated dollars of $4.9 million. Secondary relationships with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (three awards) and the Department of Justice Offices (three awards combined across the Office on Violence Against Women and Office of Justice Programs) round out the portfolio. Activity has grown modestly from two awards annually in 2021 to four in 2025, with only one award facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable recompete exposure. Safe Embrace operates exclusively in the grant space; it holds no federal contracts and sits on no contract vehicles such as GWACs, IDIQs, or BPAs.
