Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Fairbanks Rescue Mission, Inc. received a $842,215 project grant awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033). The organization will provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Alaska who are experiencing homelessness, transitioning to permanent housing, or at risk of housing instability. The award supports a housing-first approach designed to rapidly rehouse homeless veterans and prevent homelessness among at-risk veteran households.

The organization will deliver four core mandatory services: outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits. Additionally, Fairbanks Rescue Mission may provide 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 and utility deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance. Optional supportive services may include legal assistance and financial management services. All services are provided in accordance with 38 CFR Part 62 and comply with federal record retention requirements.
