Project Grant 2014CA167LT

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded a $1,075,200 Project Grant to East Oakland Community Project through the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF Program, CFDA 64.033). The grant will support coordination and delivery of supportive services to very low-income Veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.

As required by the SSVF Program, East Oakland Community Project will provide outreach, case management, and assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits. The organization may also use the funding for temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for childcare, emergency housing, transportation, rental/utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability support such as emergency supplies. The grant enables delivery of services that address the needs of very low-income Veteran families and help promote housing stability as intended by the SSVF Program.
