The VA Grant and Per Diem Program supports time-limited case management services to improve the retention of housing by Veterans who were previously homeless and are transitioning to permanent housing.
In 2020, the VA accepted applications under the following models:
Eligible applicants may request up to 40 beds per model type. A separate application is required for each model.
NOTE: For those applicants that are successfully funded for multiple models, VA will allow, without a change of scope, a flex of beds between the applicant's models at the same facility. This flex will be up to five beds or 15% the total awarded bed limit per medical center, whichever is greater.
Up to $25,000,000 was available for an anticipated 100 awards in FY18.
No part of an award may be used to facilitate capital improvements or to purchase vans or real property. Applicants may not receive funding to replace funds provided by any Federal, state, or local Government agency or program to assist homeless persons.
Eligible applicants are 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, 501(c)(19) non-profit organizations, State governments, local governments, and Indian Tribal governments.
The most recent deadline was May 4, 2023.
Individual award amounts vary. Awards provided under this NOFA will be for a period of one (1) year, beginning on October 1, 2020, and ending on September 30, 2021. Cost sharing/matching is not required.
For applications for transitional housing bed models: Applicants are encouraged to consider the need in their community for transitional housing models that are more focused (i.e., Bridge, Low Demand, Hospital-to-Housing and/or Clinical Treatment) over the transitional housing model that is more general (i.e., Service-Intensive). To that end, applicants may request up to 15 Service-Intensive beds per application. If more than 15 Service Intensive beds are requested within the same application, then at least 60 percent of the additional beds beyond 15 must be for a transitional housing bed model(s) other than Service Intensive.
