Project Grant 2013NH11525

This federal Project Grant award of $2,119,942.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) on September 18, 2024. The purpose of the SSVF Program is to provide supportive services grants to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives to coordinate or provide supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are residing in permanent housing, homeless and scheduled to become residents of permanent housing, or recently exited permanent housing.

The grant recipient, Harbor Homes, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Nashua, New Hampshire, will use the funds to provide a range of supportive services to veteran families, including outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for items like childcare, housing, transportation, and utility costs. Additionally, Harbor Homes may offer optional services such as legal assistance and financial management. These comprehensive services are designed to help veteran families quickly access and maintain permanent housing, minimize trauma, and promote self-sufficiency through a housing-first approach.
