The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded a $445,270 Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program grant to YWCA of Greater Harrisburg Inc., a non-profit organization serving as a domestic shelter and service provider in the Penbrook, Pennsylvania area. 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 homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing. Through this grant, YWCA of Greater Harrisburg Inc. will provide outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rental payments, utilities, security deposits, and moving costs. The organization has also received prior grant awards from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Department of Justice to support homelessness, domestic violence, and human trafficking initiatives in its local community.
