About the company
Steps, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Farmville, Virginia, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on domestic violence services, homeless housing support, and vocational rehabilitation across a six-county region in Southside Virginia. The organization functions as a designated regional Community Action Agency and homeless services provider under its parent entity, Southside Training, Employment, and operates predominantly through grant awards (93% of recent awards are prime grants) rather than federal contracts; it also receives federal sub-awards from Virginia state agencies.
Steps' federal grant footprint centers on HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program funding under CFDA 14.267 and domestic violence victim services. Recent prime grant awards include a $465,014 HUD CoC Domestic Violence Bonus Grant (award date September 1, 2025, completion August 31, 2026) to establish and operate permanent housing rapid rehousing projects and supportive services for survivors of domestic violence in the six-county region, and a companion $444,764 HUD CoC Project Grant (same period) supporting a broader range of housing and supportive services including case management, rental assistance, facility operating costs, and HMIS implementation. In March 2024, Steps received a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant (completion September 30, 2027) designated for domestic violence and sexual assault shelter operations and comprehensive victim services following the closure of the regional provider in November 2022. On the sub-recipient side, Steps draws funding through the Virginia Department of Social Services for domestic violence services (multiple sub-awards dated July 2022 through July 2025), the Department of Criminal Justice Services for sexual assault victim advocacy covering 50% of advocate salaries and direct crisis support (sub-awards September 2024 and January 2026), the Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services for Title V senior employment training (sub-award July 2024), and the State Board of Health for child and adult care food programs (sub-award November 2024).
Steps' customer agency concentration is heavily weighted toward Virginia state entities — the Virginia Department of Social Services, Department of Criminal Justice Services, and Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services account for the majority of recent sub-award activity. At the federal level, HUD (via its Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance are the primary funders. The organization has received 120 awards across its history (first award September 1998), though annual award activity has been modest — one award each in 2022 and 2023, climbing to five awards in 2024 and four in 2025. Combined potential value across all awards totals $43 million, but obligated dollars stand at $79.7 million (185% of potential value), indicating that invoiced work on historical awards has exceeded their initial authorized ceilings. Three awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited near-term recompete exposure.
