ST. Francis House, Inc.

ST. Francis House, Inc., a Little Rock, Arkansas-based nonprofit organization, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants and a prime contractor for residential treatment and supportive services to homeless veterans, with 99% of recent awards structured as prime grants or contracts rather than subcontract relationships. The organization has received over $45.4 million in total federal obligations across 92 awards spanning more than three decades, with recent annual activity ranging from one to five awards per year.

The organization's federal work concentrates on two core service lines: residential treatment for homeless veterans experiencing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, and supportive services to very low-income veteran families. Representative contract work includes a $2.751 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (VISN 16), effective January 16, 2025 through January 15, 2030, for operation of 20 low-barrier emergency residential beds with 24-hour supervision, evidence-based treatment programming, case management, meals, laundry, and transportation assistance targeting 55 percent exits to permanent housing. ST. Francis House has issued two delivery orders under this IDC: a $518,300 order for the period January 16, 2025 through January 15, 2026, and a $468,836 order effective January 16, 2026 through January 15, 2030. Prior to this vehicle, the organization held six consecutive delivery order awards from VISN 16 dating back to July 2021.

Grant work spans three federal programs. ST. Francis House is a recipient under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033), with the most recent award of $4.046 million effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, providing outreach, case management, VA benefits assistance, and temporary financial assistance for childcare, housing, transportation, utilities, and security deposits to very low-income veteran families. The organization also holds a $336,000 grant under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (CFDA 64.024) for case management services running October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, and a $183,965 grant from the Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Service under the Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (CFDA 17.805), effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, targeting 80 homeless veterans in Central Arkansas with employment reintegration services including resume development, job matching, and case management, with a projected 80 percent placement rate.

Customer concentration is extreme: VA programs account for the top four funding agencies, with VISN 16 alone representing 21 awards valued at $10.1 million combined potential value. The top five customers (all VA entities) cover 77% of awards by count and 73% of combined potential value. The top parent vehicle, Indefinite Delivery Contract V598P4417, carries 18 task orders valued at $4 million combined potential value. The award portfolio is anchored in NAICS 621420 (Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers, 22 awards) and NAICS 623990 (Other Community Housing Services, 13 awards), with PSC coding concentrated in Social Rehabilitation (30 awards) and Medical Physical Medicine/Rehabilitation services (17 awards). Three awards reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. The organization operates without identified major subcontractors and does not hold prime positions on federal contract vehicles or GWACs.
