Safe Harbor Inc.

Safe Harbor Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Greenville, South Carolina, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on housing assistance, domestic violence support, and family therapy services. The organization acts primarily as a sub-recipient (58% of recent awards) on federal grants flowing through state agencies and HUD, though it also receives direct grants as a prime recipient (42% of recent awards) from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Safe Harbor Inc. delivers transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, case management, counseling, and child and family therapy services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and domestic violence in the Greenville region. Recent prime grant work includes a $222,309 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (CFDA 14.267), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, supporting permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services delivery; a three-year $675,000 Transitional Housing Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence grant from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (CFDA 16.736), running October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024; and a child and family therapy cooperative agreement from the Administration on Children Youth and Families, effective September 30, 2024 through September 29, 2026. As a sub-recipient, Safe Harbor Inc. receives funding through the South Carolina Department of Social Services and the South Carolina Attorney General for domestic violence emergency shelter operations, comprehensive victim services, community-based therapy, and hurricane relief assistance, as well as through HUD's Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program administered by state and local entities.

Federal funding concentration centers on domestic violence and homelessness-focused agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (7 awards), the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (6 awards), and HUD's Community Planning and Development office (6 awards) account for 88% of recent awards. Activity grew from two awards in 2021 to nine in 2024, with six awards placed in 2025. Combined obligated dollars across all awards stand at $7.8 million. Only two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. Sub-recipient funding flows predominantly through South Carolina state agencies — the Department of Social Services and Attorney General's office — which serve as pass-through grantees for federal domestic violence, emergency shelter, and homelessness-prevention programs.
