Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County, Inc. a $2.14 million Project Grant under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Under this award, the organization will provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in San Luis Obispo County, California who are experiencing homelessness, transitioning to permanent housing, or at risk of housing instability.

The grantee is required to deliver 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 housing-related expenses such as rental assistance, utility payments, security deposits, emergency housing assistance, childcare, transportation, and moving costs. Optional services may include legal assistance and financial management services. The SSVF Program operates on a housing-first approach designed to rapidly rehouse homeless veterans and prevent homelessness among at-risk veteran families while facilitating access to health care, employment, and other supports necessary to maintain permanent housing and improve quality of life.
