Project Grant 14MI220SS

This $573,105 project grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health supports the Community Action Agency in delivering supportive services under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF Program; CFDA 64.033). The SSVF Program aims to provide supportive services grants to organizations assisting very low-income Veteran families who are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing. Specifically, the Community Action Agency will use the grant funds to provide outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits, and temporary financial assistance paid directly to a third party for eligible Veteran families. This financial assistance can cover childcare, emergency housing, transportation, rent/utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, and other services that promote housing stability. The two-year period of performance for these supportive services is September 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023.
