Federal Grant Award Summary

St. Vincent De Paul Society of Lane County, Inc. received a $2,387,820 Project Grant award from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The grant supports the organization's Self Sufficiency Services Division in delivering comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Oregon who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, or recently exited permanent housing.

Under this award, the grantee provides four core required services: outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and assistance in obtaining and coordinating other public benefits. Additionally, the organization may deliver optional temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of participants for housing-related expenses including child care, emergency housing assistance, transportation, rental assistance, utility payments, security deposits, utility deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance. Optional services may also include legal assistance and financial management services. The SSVF Program operates on a housing-first model designed to rapidly rehouse homeless veterans and prevent homelessness among at-risk veteran families while facilitating access to employment, healthcare, and other supports necessary to maintain permanent housing.
