Prevail CA

Prevail CA is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization registered in SAM.gov since April 2011 that serves as a domestic shelter provider operating in San Joaquin County, California. The organization receives federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families to support comprehensive services for runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth. Through its federal grant portfolio, Prevail CA provides emergency shelter, counseling, life skills training, and support services designed to prevent vulnerable youth from entering the law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.

Prevail CA has established a robust service delivery model across multiple federal grant programs. As a prime grantee, the organization currently holds two active grants totaling $700,000 under the Administration for Children and Families: a Basic Center Grant (CFDA 93.623) and a Transitional Living Program grant (CFDA 93.550), both awarded on September 30, 2025 and extending through September 29, 2028. These programs provide emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and referrals for youth under 18 years old through the Basic Center Program, while the Transitional Living Program serves youth ages 16 to under 22 with safe housing and comprehensive services including basic life skills training, educational and job attainment support, and counseling to promote self-sufficiency and independent living for up to 18 months. Additionally, Prevail CA operates a Street Outreach Program providing prevention and intervention services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth ages 21 and younger in San Joaquin County. Beyond its youth-focused services, Prevail CA serves as a subrecipient of numerous federal grants administered through the California Office of Emergency Services and San Joaquin County Community Development Services, delivering victim advocacy and support services related to domestic violence, sexual assault, and crime victimization. These sub-awards encompass legal assistance for crime victims, emergency shelter and support services for domestic violence survivors, rapid rehousing programs, specialized advocacy for child and youth crime victims, detention facility-based sexual assault services, and comprehensive support services for marginalized and underserved victim populations.
