The Wellspring Alliance For Families, Inc.

The Wellspring Alliance For Families, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Monroe, Louisiana, has been registered as a federal grant recipient since December 2005 and serves as a prime grantee delivering comprehensive social services to vulnerable populations across northeastern Louisiana. Operating under the business name "The Wellspring," the organization focuses on addressing homelessness, domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and family crisis intervention through federal grant funding. The organization demonstrates substantial capacity in managing multiple concurrent federal awards and coordinating services across diverse populations, including veterans, domestic violence survivors, sexual assault victims, and families at risk of homelessness.

The Wellspring has received substantial federal grants from multiple agencies to deliver a wide range of services. From the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), the organization has received multiple awards totaling over $1.6 million to provide permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention activities for homeless individuals and families in Monroe, Louisiana. The Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded The Wellspring approximately $4.4 million through the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033) to deliver outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for very low-income veteran families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women has provided over $2.3 million through multiple programs: the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program (CFDA 16.589) worth $750,000 to identify and respond to victims in rural communities; the Justice Systems Response to Families Program (CFDA 16.021) totaling $1.15 million for supervised visitation, safe exchange services, and justice system coordination; and the Transitional Housing Assistance Program worth $649,751 for housing and supportive services to domestic violence survivors. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded $442,308 through the Family Violence Prevention and Services Program (CFDA 93.592) for resource information, training, and technical assistance. The organization has established partnerships with the Franklin Parish Sheriff's Office, Morehouse Parish Sheriff's Office, the Family Justice Center of Ouachita, Louisiana courts, district attorneys, workforce development boards, and local community organizations to implement trauma-informed, victim-centered approaches to service delivery. Through its sub-grant awards, primarily from the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice, The Wellspring provides residential and non-residential services including crisis intervention, safety planning, legal advocacy, counseling, hospital accompaniment for sexual assault victims, and comprehensive support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, child abuse, and human trafficking across a nine-parish service area in northeast Louisiana.
