Summary of Federal Grant Award

Volunteers of America Southeast, Inc. received a $2,098,333 Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The organization will deliver comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families residing in permanent housing, transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing, or seeking suitable housing after exiting permanent housing. These services are designed to promote housing stability and prevent homelessness among eligible veteran populations in Georgia.

The grant funds four required core services: outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits. Additionally, the award supports optional temporary financial assistance provided directly to third parties on behalf of participants, including child care, emergency housing assistance, transportation, rental assistance, utility and security deposit payments, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance. The organization may also provide optional legal assistance and financial management services. This funding supports the SSVF Program's housing-first approach, which emphasizes rapid re-housing and homelessness prevention through a veteran-centered service delivery model focused on quick access to permanent rental housing and sustained stability.
