Trumbull County Mental Health & Recovery Board

Trumbull County Mental Health & Recovery Board is a county government entity in Warren, Ohio, that acts as a federal grant recipient delivering homelessness housing and supportive services as the prime recipient on HUD Continuum of Care awards and as a sub-recipient on federal mental health, substance abuse, disability services, and child welfare grants passed through state agencies. The board operates as a division of County of Trumbull (parent vendor) and competes in the non-profit/government category rather than as a federal contractor.

The board's prime federal footprint centers on HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), under which it has received recurring annual awards. Recent CoC grants include a $1.197 million project grant (October 1, 2025–September 30, 2026) and a $1.085 million project grant (October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025) for permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Warren and Trumbull County. The board also manages smaller CoC planning and coordination awards, including a $113,076 grant and a $105,162 grant within the same program periods. These awards support case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, rental assistance, and housing-related supportive services.

The board's sub-recipient portfolio is substantially larger by volume. It receives pass-through federal funding from the Ohio Department of Mental Health (the dominant sub-award grantor) under the State Opioid Response Program (SOS 3.0 and 4.0 iterations), the Substance Abuse Block Grant with COVID and American Rescue Plan funding, the Mental Health Block Grant, and behavioral health integration projects addressing opioid use disorder and co-occurring conditions. The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities awards the board sub-grants under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities ages birth through two years. The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services channels Title XX Social Security Act funding and Family Centered Services and Supports grants through the board. The Ohio Department of Children and Youth awarded a sub-grant for the Ohio Family and Children First initiative. Across all sources, the board serves seven distinct federal agencies with 31 awards spanning 2008 to 2025; 71% of those awards are sub-recipient designations, with HUD (8 awards, prime focus) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (15 awards combined, mostly sub) anchoring federal relationships. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total approximately $9 million. Award activity has grown significantly — from one award in 2008 to eleven in 2025 — with only two awards (combined value not specified) completing within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable continued funding rather than near-term recompete exposure.
