Womens Alliance Inc.

Womens Alliance Inc. Domestic Violence And Rape Crisis Center Division, operating as Domestic Violence And Rape Crisis Center, is a nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient to operate domestic violence shelter, supportive services, and transitional housing programs. The vendor does not hold federal contracts; all federal activity flows through grant programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Health and Human Services.

The organization's federal footprint centers on two grant programs. As a prime recipient, Womens Alliance has received five consecutive annual Continuum of Care (CoC) Program project grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, with awards on July 1, 2022; July 1, 2023; July 1, 2024; July 1, 2025; and most recently July 1, 2026 (ultimate completion June 30, 2027). These grants fund the establishment and operation of permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems. As a sub-recipient, Womens Alliance receives funding through the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services under the Family Violence Prevention and Services program (CFDA 93.671), which supports domestic violence shelter and supportive services; sub-award dates include February 2022, October 2023, October 2024, July 2025, September 2025, and February 2026. The organization also receives a sub-award from the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation under a support for victims of crime grant dated August 2024.

HUD accounts for 16 of 23 total awards (70% of prime activity), with the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families supporting six awards, and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs funding one additional sub-award. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $919 thousand, reflecting the modest scale and grant-based operational model. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting limited recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor's division structure and nonprofit designation indicate focus on direct service delivery to domestic violence survivors and homeless individuals rather than federal contracting or teaming arrangements with commercial contractors.
