## What the grant funds

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs will make grants available to eligible organizations for the provision of transition assistance. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces who are separated, retired, or discharged, as well as their spouses, will benefit from receiving the services provided. Each year approximately 200,000 Service members are separated from the military. Veterans and dependents report significant challenges when transitioning from military to civilian life. These grants will be awarded to eligible organizations that provide employment-based resources and tools, to help these Veterans and spouses overcome employment and financial challenges. In accordance with P.L. 116-315, § 4304, VA seeks to award grants to organizations that provide multiple forms of the following services: resume assistance, interview training, job recruitment training, and related services, or are located in states with a high rate of unemployment among Veterans, a high rate of usage of unemployment benefits for recently separated members of the Armed Forces, or a labor force or economy that has been significantly impacted by a covered public health emergency.
