Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration awarded a Project Grant of $1,138,023 to The Community Action Program Corporation of Washington-Morgan Counties for the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The grantee will provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Ohio who are experiencing homelessness, transitioning to permanent housing, or at risk of housing instability. The award supports the delivery of four mandatory core services: outreach, case management, VA benefits assistance, and coordination of other public benefits.

In addition to core services, the grantee may provide optional temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of participants for housing-related expenses including rental assistance, utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, child care, transportation, and emergency housing assistance. The grantee may also offer supplemental services such as legal assistance and financial management services to support long-term housing stability. The SSVF Program operates on a housing-first model designed to rapidly rehouse homeless veterans and prevent housing loss while facilitating access to health care, employment, and other supports to maintain permanent housing and improve quality of life.
