Project Grant 12MI044SS

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health awarded $568,641 under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF Program, CFDA 64.033) to Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency. The award will support services from September 2021 through September 2023.

As outlined in the SSVF Program, the awardee will coordinate or provide supportive services to very low-income veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing. Required services include outreach, case management, and assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits. The awardee may also provide temporary financial assistance paid directly to a third party for childcare, housing, transportation, utilities, and other needs to promote housing stability, as specified in 38 CFR Part 62. Legal assistance and financial management services are among the optional supportive services that may be offered. The goal of this funding is to help vulnerable veteran households obtain and sustain permanent affordable housing.
