Project Grant 2020AZ15925

The United States Veterans Initiative (U.S.VETS) was awarded a $5,732,636 Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program grant by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration on October 5, 2024. The SSVF Program provides grant funding to private non-profit organizations to coordinate and deliver supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing. U.S.VETS will use the grant funds to provide outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rent, utilities, security deposits, and emergency supplies. The organization may also offer optional supportive services like legal assistance and financial management. This SSVF Program grant will enable U.S.VETS to continue delivering critical services to support housing stability and successful civilian transition for veteran families in Arizona.
