Federal Project Grant Summary

Homeless Veterans Fellowship received a $1,043,540 project grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The organization will provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families experiencing homelessness or housing instability. As a required component of the award, Homeless Veterans Fellowship must deliver outreach services, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits for eligible participants.

In addition to required services, the grant funds temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of program 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 supplies. Optional services may also include legal assistance and financial management services. The SSVF program operates under a housing-first approach designed to rapidly re-house homeless veterans and prevent homelessness among at-risk veteran households while facilitating access to health care, employment, legal services, and other supports necessary to maintain permanent housing and improve quality of life.
