Grant Award Summary

Path has been awarded $2,006,831 through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The funding supports Path's delivery of required and optional supportive services to very low-income veteran families, including those currently residing in permanent housing at risk of homelessness, those experiencing homelessness and transitioning to permanent housing, and those seeking suitable housing after exiting permanent housing.

Path will utilize grant funds to provide mandatory outreach services, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits. Additionally, the organization may deploy temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of participants for services including child care, emergency housing assistance, transportation, rental assistance, utility payments, security deposits, utility deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance. The program follows a housing-first approach and rapid re-housing model designed to quickly return homeless veterans to community housing and prevent future homelessness. Optional services may also include legal assistance and financial management services, consistent with the SSVF program's emphasis on comprehensive support to sustain permanent housing retention and improve quality of life outcomes for participating veteran families.
