The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $2,087,911 Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program grant to The Utility Emergency Services Fund of Philadelphia (UESF), a non-profit organization, on September 17, 2024. The SSVF Program (CFDA 64.033) provides grants to private non-profit organizations to coordinate and deliver comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Through this grant, UESF will provide outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as child care, emergency housing, transportation, rental/utility payments, security/utility deposits, and moving costs. The grant will enable UESF to help veteran families in the Philadelphia area quickly access and maintain permanent housing, minimize trauma, and promote self-sufficiency through a housing-first approach.
