## What the grant funds

During the National Emergency due to COVID–19, VA announces the availability of approximately $50 million in capital grants to increase safety and reduce the risk to Veterans in GPD transitional housing who otherwise would be experiencing homelessness. Funding for grants awarded under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, 2020 (the CARES Act; P.L. 116-136). Mounting risks posed to vulnerable populations from public health concerns such as the coronavirus and other infectious diseases show a need to increase safety in transitional housing provided by GPD grantees. This funding will allow current GPD grantees to improve the transitional housing they offer to Veterans resulting in less congregate housing and more individual unit style housing. This funding will improve personal safety for Veterans, reduce risks associated with close quarters living and increase the availability of individual unit style transitional housing. This funding will allow GPD grantees to continue to transform programs and to meet the challenges local communities face when providing safe spaces for Veterans experiencing homelessness. DATES: Applications for grants must be received by the GPD National Program Office no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 25, 2021. In the interest of fairness to all, this deadline is firm as to date and hour. VA will treat any application received after the deadline as ineligible. Applicants should take this practice into account and submit their materials early to avoid the risk of unanticipated delays, computer service outages or other submission-related problems that might result in ineligibility. APPLICATION SUBMISSION: Applications must be submitted by following instructions at www.va.gov/homeless/gpd.asp. Applications may not be submitted any other way. Applications must be received by the GPD National Program Office no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the application deadline date. Applications must be submitted as a complete package. Materials arriving separately will not be included in the application package for consideration and may result in the application being rejected or not funded. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: Information regarding how to obtain technical assistance with the preparation of a grant application is available on the GPD program website at www.va.gov/homeless/gpd.asp. A.
