Safehaven Of Tarrant County

Safehaven Of Tarrant County, doing business as Domestic Violence, is a tax-exempt nonprofit domestic violence shelter and services organization based in Arlington, Texas, that operates as a federal grant recipient providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The organization acts as both a prime recipient (43% of awards) and a sub-recipient (57% of awards) under federal grant programs; it does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles.

Safehaven's service portfolio includes emergency shelter, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, case management, safety planning, financial and career counseling, job training, housing advocacy, rental assistance, legal support, and follow-up assistance for survivors experiencing homelessness or housing instability. Recent prime grant work includes a $675,793 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, awarded August 1, 2026, running through July 31, 2027; a $500,000 three-year Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Program (CFDA 16.736) project grant from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, effective October 1, 2023; and prior COC awards from HUD spanning 2022 through 2025. The organization also receives sub-awards from the Health and Human Services Commission of Texas under the Family Violence Prevention and Services program and from state agencies for shelter operations and rapid rehousing services.

The top five federal customer agencies account for 54% of awards. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads with 22 awards, followed by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (8 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (6 awards), the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families again listed separately (4 awards), and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (3 awards). Safehaven has served nine distinct federal customer agencies across its footprint. The organization's federal grant footprint spans HUD's Continuum of Care Program, DOJ's Transitional Housing Assistance Grants, the HHS Administration on Children Youth and Families' Project Change Student Assistance Program, and Family Violence Prevention and Services grants flowing through state intermediaries including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Texas Governor's Office. Combined dollars obligated across all 79 awards (prime and sub) total $18.7 million over the source period. Activity has remained flat at approximately six to seven awards per year from 2022 through 2026, with only one award facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window.
