Volunteers Of America Mid-States, Inc.

Volunteers Of America Mid-States, Inc. is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, that acts as a prime recipient on federal grants delivering residential substance abuse treatment, supportive housing, homelessness services, and workforce development to vulnerable populations across Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Indiana. The organization also receives federal grant funding as a subrecipient on programs anchored by state and local governments (HUD, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Labor, and the Department of Health and Human Services).

The recipient's federal grant footprint centers on four core capability areas. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) dominates the award count — 56 HUD-CPD awards across the portfolio represent 30% of all federal funding relationships. Recent work includes a $630,328 CPD award to operate transitional and permanent supportive housing in Louisville (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), a $142,215 award for the same program period, and a $165,154 award running through December 31, 2026, all centered on rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, and HMIS operations. The Department of Veterans Affairs Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033) accounts for 25 awards; the largest recent award is $12.2 million (September 30, 2025 through September 30, 2026) to deliver outreach, case management, VA benefits assistance, and temporary financial aid to very low-income veteran families across the four-state region. The Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) funds employment-focused services for homeless and at-risk veterans, including a competitive grant under the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program running through June 30, 2025. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funding under the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CFDA 93.490) supports two five-year Family Recovery Court programs in Kentucky's 41st and 9th judicial districts (awarded September 30, 2023, running through September 29, 2028) and the Manchester Freedom House residential treatment program for pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders in rural Clay County (awarded September 30, 2026, $525,000 annually for five years, serving at least 100 participants yearly).

The organization also holds a $2.5 million award from the Appalachian Regional Commission for workforce training (CFDA 23.002, October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027) and a $300,000 award from HHS's Health Resources and Services Administration for Rural Communities Opioid Response Program initiatives targeting Clay County (CFDA 93.912, September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026). Recent grant work as a subrecipient includes housing stabilization and case management services for low-income individuals with HIV/AIDS under prime awardee Kentucky Housing Corp, emergency shelter and rapid rehousing services under Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government, and restorative justice conferencing for court-involved youth under the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet.

Concentration is highly skewed toward HUD and VA programs — the top five funding agencies (HUD-CPD, DOL-VETS, VA-VHA, VA overall, and VA-VISN 9) account for approximately 69% of awards by count. The portfolio shows stable recent activity (10 awards in 2022, 20 in 2024, 18 in 2025) with six awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Combined potential value across the entire footprint stands at $3.2 million, but combined dollars obligated across all awards total $151.4 million, reflecting the organization's track record as an established grant recipient managing long-term federal programs in housing, veteran services, and substance abuse treatment at scale.
