The Montgomery Area Family Violence Program, Inc.

The Montgomery Area Family Violence Program, Inc., doing business as Family Sunshine Center, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Montgomery, Alabama, that provides crisis intervention, safe shelter, counseling, advocacy, and supportive services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and stalking across seven central Alabama counties (Autauga, Butler, Chilton, Crenshaw, Elmore, Lowndes, and Montgomery). The organization operates as a federal grant recipient, with 57% of its recent award portfolio as prime recipient (38 of 67 total awards) and 43% as sub-recipient under pass-through grantors.

Family Sunshine Center's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in HUD and Department of Justice grant programs. The top five funding agencies account for 96% of recent awards. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the prime portfolio with 32 awards totaling funding under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), which supports permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention. Recent HUD CoC awards include a $200,066 project grant dated October 1, 2025 (completion September 30, 2026), a $191,015 grant dated October 1, 2024 (completion September 30, 2025), and a $167,788 grant dated October 1, 2024 (completion September 30, 2025). The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime accounts for 18 awards focused on crime victim services, while the Office on Violence Against Women provided a $450,000 Transitional Housing Assistance for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, or Sexual Assault grant (CFDA 16.736) spanning October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families rounds out the active set with five awards.

As a sub-recipient, Family Sunshine Center works under the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs as the pass-through grantee on 29 sub-awards spanning federal crime victim services, interpersonal violence prevention and awareness initiatives, emergency shelter and support to sexual assault and human trafficking victims, and justice system assistance. Sub-awards dating from 2022 through April 2026 reflect recurring cycles of crime victim services funding and project-specific grants addressing data management, law enforcement collaboration, and client service delivery across the same seven-county service area. Combined federal dollars obligated across all 67 awards total $21.3 million over the organization's award history since 2007. Activity has remained relatively stable at six to ten awards per year over the past five years, with only two awards facing ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete exposure in the near term.
