The federal Project Grant award of $2,870,384 was provided by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033). The purpose of the SSVF program is to provide supportive services grants to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives to coordinate or provide supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing.
The grantee, Region 12 Commission On Mental Health & Mental Retardation doing business as Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources, will use the funds to provide a range of required services including outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, as well as optional temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rental payments, utilities, security deposits, and moving costs. This funding will enable Pine Belt Mental Healthcare Resources to continue delivering comprehensive, recovery-oriented services and supports to address homelessness, mental health, and other needs for low-income veterans in southern Mississippi.
