Federal Grant Award Summary

Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana received a $6.22 million project grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033) for the period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The organization will provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Ohio, addressing housing instability and homelessness through a housing-first model. The award funds four mandatory core services: outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining Veterans Affairs benefits, and coordination of other public benefits.

In addition to core services, the grant supports optional temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of program participants, including rental assistance, utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, child care, transportation, emergency housing assistance, and general housing stability assistance. The program may also offer supplemental services such as legal assistance and financial management services to help veteran families achieve and maintain permanent housing stability and improve overall quality of life.
