Ywca Of Charleston, West Virginia, Inc.

Ywca Of Charleston, West Virginia, Inc., doing business as Ywca Resolve Family Abuse Program, is a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Charleston, West Virginia, that receives federal grant awards to deliver transitional housing, emergency shelter, case management, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families, with particular emphasis on survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The organization operates as a prime recipient on federal grants (48% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on state-administered federal programs (52% of recent awards), with no federal contract footprint.

The organization's grant portfolio concentrates heavily in homelessness and domestic violence intervention. HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) dominates the grant activity, with eleven awards dating to 2021 supporting transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and supportive services only across rolling annual cycles. Two recent CoC grants carry $147,298 (April 2026 to March 2027) and $261,117 (November 2025 to October 2026) in potential value. The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women awarded a $500,000 three-year Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking grant (CFDA 16.736), running October 2024 through September 2027, to fund transitional housing and comprehensive support services for up to 20 survivors in the Charleston area, delivered in partnership with the Kanawha Valley Collective and The Counseling Connection - REACH. The program provides rental and utility assistance, case management, safety planning, transportation, career counseling, financial and credit counseling, children's support groups, individual counseling, and job training.

Customer concentration tracks heavily to HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (42 awards, 81% coverage across the top funding agencies listed) and, secondarily, to the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (17 awards), primarily through Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal reimbursement sub-awards administered by the West Virginia Department of Education. Additional sub-recipient activity flows through the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources for adult and children's mental health peer coaching programs and protective services for domestic violence victims, and through the West Virginia Department of Human Services for emergency shelter and homelessness interventions under the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (24 CFR Part 576).

Over the past five years, awards have remained flat to slightly growing, with ten awards in 2022 rising to fourteen in both 2024 and 2025, then dropping to seven in the current year. Two awards carry ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete exposure. The organization's combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $8.9 million, reflecting small annual grant awards typical of community-based nonprofit homelessness and domestic violence programming.
