Spring Branch Community Health Center

Spring Branch Community Health Center, a nonprofit healthcare provider based in Katy, Texas, operates as a recipient of federal grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Health and Human Services to deliver homeless services, primary care, and behavioral health expansion programs to medically underserved populations in the Houston area.

The organization is a Texas-registered nonprofit enterprise established in June 2003 with a mission to provide comprehensive healthcare services to indigent patients in the Spring Branch, West Houston, and Northwest Houston areas. Spring Branch Community Health Center delivers an integrated service portfolio spanning primary care, dental services, behavioral health, and supportive housing for homeless populations. The vendor operates exclusively as a grant recipient rather than a federal contractor; the organization does not hold federal contract vehicles or prime contract awards.

HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development is the dominant funder by award count, with seven awards under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) totaling approximately $3.1 million across recent youth homelessness and general homelessness initiatives. Recent HUD CoC awards include a $441,877 Project Grant (January 1 through December 31, 2026) for youth homelessness services in Katy, a $1,312,869 Project Grant (December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026) for homelessness prevention and housing, and a $1.32 million award (November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026) supporting coordinated community-based youth homelessness interventions. Under these grants, Spring Branch Community Health Center delivers permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems operations, and homelessness prevention activities, including case management, rental assistance, property leasing, and related support services.

The Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, has awarded eleven grants totaling approximately $2.7 million for primary care expansion, behavioral health service delivery, and infectious-disease prevention. A two-year FY 2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion grant (September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2026) funds culturally sensitive mental health services addressing barriers such as lack of insurance, limited transportation, and provider shortages. A $325,000 FY 2021 Ending the HIV Epidemic Primary Care HIV Prevention grant (August 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025) supports HIV testing and prevention in the Houston area. Earlier grants include FY 2023 Bridge Access Program and FY 2023 Expanding COVID-19 Vaccination funding. Spring Branch Community Health Center receives these grants as prime recipient and has engaged in at least one sub-recipient role in a homelessness-prevention sub-grant (awarded November 1, 2023).

Five grant awards are scheduled to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity across both HUD and HRSA-funded programs. The organization's funding footprint concentrates on grant-funded safety-net health services and homeless housing rather than federal procurement contracting.
