Project Grant 13IN10622

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded $434,230 under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033) to Community Action of Northeast Indiana Inc., doing business as Brightpoint, on October 1, 2021. This project grant will support Brightpoint in providing supportive services to very low-income Veteran families in Indiana. As required by the program, Brightpoint will deliver outreach, case management, and assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits. Optional services Brightpoint may provide include temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for childcare, housing, transportation, utilities, and other needs, as well as legal assistance and financial management services. The goal is to coordinate or deliver supportive services to Veteran families residing in permanent housing, those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and those who have recently exited permanent housing.
