Earlier this month, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced it will award a total of $806.4 million for the following programs that help veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness:

  • Supportive Services for Veteran Families: VA is awarding 239 SSVF grants totaling $797.5 million to community organizations that help rapidly rehouse veterans and their families, prevent the imminent loss of veterans’ homes, or identify more suitable housing situations.
  • Grant and Per Diem Program: VA will award 14 GPD grants totaling $8.9 million to community organizations that provide veterans with transitional housing and case management—including connecting eligible Veterans to VA benefits, community-based services, and permanent housing. These special need grants will fund approximately 105 transitional housing beds to support special populations of homeless veterans, including women, elderly, terminally ill, chronically mentally ill, or those who care for minor dependents.
