Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Axesspointe Community Health Center received a $1.71 million Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The organization will provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Ohio who are homeless, transitioning to permanent housing, or at risk of housing instability. As a required component of this award, Axesspointe will deliver four core services: outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of public benefits. These mandatory services support the program's housing-first approach, which emphasizes rapid re-housing and permanent housing retention without preconditions.

In addition to core services, Axesspointe may provide optional temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of participants, including support for rental assistance, utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, child care, transportation, and emergency housing assistance. The organization may also offer supplemental services such as legal assistance and financial management services to enhance long-term housing stability and quality of life for veteran families served. These services align with the SSVF Program's evidence-based model focused on helping veterans and their households access and sustain permanent housing quickly and efficiently while facilitating access to healthcare, employment, and other critical supports.
