## What the grant funds

VA’s Homeless Providers GPD National Program Office anticipates awarding renewal grants to community-based organizations to provide SN supportive housing services to facilitate Veteran engagement in permanent housing. These grants support the President’s priority to reduce homelessness and increase the excellence of and options for care, benefits, and services for veterans, as demonstrated in Executive Order 14296 - Keeping Promises to Veterans and Establishing a National Center for Warrior Independence. Awards are expected to be for three years starting on or around October 1, 2026. The goals and objectives of this NOFO are described in the Program Description section. Ending Veteran homelessness requires multifaceted approaches. This NOFO is designed to be one such approach. This NOFO responds to the mounting need in communities to end homelessness in unique and targeted ways tailored to the needs of diverse populations of Veterans and to the unique skills and resources in different communities. Grants funded from this NOFO will increase housing stability for Veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless and who are in one of the five SN-targeted populations listed at https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCODE-2023-title38/USCODE-2023-title38-partII-chap20-subchapVII-sec2061: 1) chronically mentally ill, 2) frail elderly, 3) individuals who care for minor dependents, 4) terminally ill, or 5) women. This renewal funding will provide assistance to offset operational costs, including costs that would not otherwise be incurred, but for the fact that the recipient is providing supportive housing beds in private rooms with private bathrooms for a homeless Veteran population with SN. Eligible entities may apply for funding only if they are a current GPD grantee receiving a SN award through opportunity VA-GPD-SN-FY 2025 are eligible to apply. For full details, see the Eligibility section. For program information and requirements, see 38 CFR Part 61 at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-38/chapter-I/part-61. Approximately $5 million per year for three years is available for 13 SN grants (approximately $384,000 per award) under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). The maximum allowable grant size is determined by the number of beds previously awarded and by each applicant’s unique Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN).
