About the company

The Thresholds, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering integrated behavioral health, housing, and homelessness services to vulnerable populations across Illinois and the Chicago metropolitan area. The organization acts predominantly as a prime recipient (57% of recent awards) on federal grants, with secondary engagement as a sub-recipient (43%) through state agencies and local health departments, and holds no federal contract prime or IDV positions.

The Thresholds' federal grant portfolio concentrates heavily in homelessness and behavioral health services. Its largest customer by award volume is the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which accounts for 218 awards spanning the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). Representative recent CoC awards include a $3.654 million project grant (July 1, 2026) for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems administration; a $426,022 award (September 1, 2026) for permanent housing and supportive services delivery; and a $544,492 award (July 1, 2026) for the same eligible activities. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) represents the second-largest customer with 189 combined awards across multiple sub-offices, including Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) grants and community mental health and substance abuse block grants flowing through the Illinois Department of Human Services as the prime grantee. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded The Thresholds $2.053 million under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033, September 30, 2025) to provide outreach, case management, VA benefits assistance, and temporary financial assistance for very low-income veteran families facing homelessness or housing instability. Top customer agencies account for 94% of the award count.

Recent activity shows strong growth through 2024, with 18 awards in 2022, 70 in 2023, and 104 in 2024, followed by a decline to 33 awards in 2025 and 23 in 2026. Eleven awards carrying completion dates within the next twenty-four months represent recompete exposure. The Thresholds operates through two named subsidiaries: Thresholds Health, NFP, and Thresholds Housing Inc., which align with its dual service focus on behavioral health and permanent supportive housing delivery. As a sub-recipient, The Thresholds receives federal funding through block grants for community mental health services and substance abuse treatment and prevention managed by the Illinois Department of Human Services, and through the Chicago Department of Public Health for opioid prevention and narcotics arrest diversion programming. The organization's place of performance spans Chicago and regional Illinois locations including Kankakee and McHenry counties, reflecting its geographic expansion into underserved communities with high rates of mental illness, substance use disorders, and homelessness.
