Serving Children And Adults In Need, Inc.

Serving Children And Adults In Need, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit behavioral health organization headquartered in Laredo, Texas, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and family support programming for underserved populations in South Texas, with 62% of its recent awards as a prime recipient and 38% as a sub-recipient under state pass-through grants. The organization delivers evidence-based clinical interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, medication-assisted treatment, trauma-informed care, and recovery support services, with work performed in Webb County, Texas and surrounding communities along the Texas-Mexico border.

SCAN's federal funding footprint concentrates entirely within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), with 85% of recent awards distributed across four HHS operating divisions. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) anchors the portfolio, funding five prime grant awards including the Families United Project ($545,000, awarded September 2026, CFDA 93.490), which targets 345 individuals with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions over five years; the Serenidad Comprehensive Behavioral Health Project ($545,000 equivalent annual funding through September 2029, CFDA 93.150), serving 500 unduplicated homeless or at-risk individuals with serious mental illness; the Laredo Drug Prevention Alliance (awarded September 2023 through September 2028, CFDA 93.243), targeting youth substance misuse prevention in schools and community settings; and the Frontera HIV and Mental Health Expansion Project (awarded September 2022 through December 2026, CFDA 93.150), providing integrated behavioral and HIV/hepatitis testing services to 400 adults. The Health Resources and Services Administration and the Administration for Children and Families round out the customer set with home visiting, family support, and early childhood development programming. SCAN receives significant sub-award volume through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS Commn TX) on projects including Texas Home Visiting, Healthy Outcomes through Prevention and Early Support, Fatherhood EFFECT, and substance abuse treatment and prevention initiatives, with 20 sub-award transactions recorded in 2025 alone under pass-through grants from state-level administration of federal programs.

Activity has accelerated in the past three years, growing from one award in 2023 to twenty in 2025, with eight awards recorded through September 2026. The combined dollar obligated across all federal sources stands at $121.6 million across 89 awards spanning from 2004 to the present. Only three awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. SCAN's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded rather than contract-based; the organization does not hold seats on GWACs, IDIQs, or agency-wide contract vehicles. The vendor's competitive posture is rooted in HHS grant programs serving low-income and underserved populations with demonstrated cultural and linguistic competency in serving Hispanic and Latino communities in health professional shortage areas.
