Federal Grant Award Summary

United States Veterans Initiative (U.S. VETS), Inglewood Division, received an $8.64 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 SSVF Program provides grants to private nonprofit organizations to deliver comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

U.S. VETS will utilize grant funds to provide required core services including outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits. Additionally, the organization may provide temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of participants for essential housing-related expenses such as rental and utility assistance, security and utility deposits, child care, transportation, moving costs, and emergency housing assistance. Optional services may include legal assistance and financial management services. The grant supports the SSVF Program's housing-first model focused on rapidly re-housing homeless veterans and preventing homelessness among at-risk veteran families while facilitating access to health care, employment, legal services, and other supports to maintain permanent housing and improve quality of life.
