Project Grant 14MS23422

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded $373,607 under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF Program, CFDA 64.033) to Catholic Charities Inc. on October 1, 2021. The SSVF Program provides supportive services grants to organizations assisting very low-income veteran families. Catholic Charities will use the funding to deliver supportive services including outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits, and temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for needs such as childcare, housing, and utility costs. Eligible veteran families must be permanently housed, homeless, or have recently exited permanent housing. The services aim to help veteran families obtain and sustain appropriate housing responsive to their needs.
