Description
VA’s Homeless Providers GPD National Program Office anticipates awarding new grants to community-based organizations to provide 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 objective of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (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. Funding under this NOFO is available for two different PDO service models to support Veterans experiencing homelessness with their move to permanent housing. One PDO service model available under this NOFO is transitional supportive housing, under which applicants may apply for any combination of five bed models (i.e., BH, CT, HH, LD and SI Transitional Housing). The other PDO service model available is service centers. These options are detailed later in the NOFO. Applicants must apply for either transitional supportive housing beds or a service center per application. A combination of transitional housing beds and a service center is not allowed. Grants funded from this NOFO will increase housing stability for Veterans. Any eligible entity may apply for funding. Current GPD grantee organizations are eligible to apply; however, applicants are not required to be a current GPD grantee. 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.VA anticipates that the grants will be for a period of three years starting in fiscal year (FY) 2027 on October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2029. VA anticipates awarding approximately 350 Per Diem Only (PDO) grants for a total of approximately 10,500 transitional supportive housing beds and 15 Service Centers (SC) nationwide. Applications will be accepted either for transitional supportive housing beds or for a SC. Applications for transitional supportive housing may include one or a combination of bed models (i.e., Bridge Housing (BH), Clinical Treatment (CT), Hospital to Housing (HH), Low Demand (LD), or Service Intensive (SI). Applications may not request both transitional supportive housing beds and a SC within the same application.
