Project Grant 2020GA18825

This federal Project Grant award of $6,148,181 was provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033). The purpose of the SSVF Program is to provide supportive services grants to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives to coordinate or provide supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are residing in permanent housing, homeless and scheduled to become residents of permanent housing within a specified time period, or after exiting permanent housing within a specified time period. The grant recipient, Travelers Aid of Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc., will use the funds to provide a range of comprehensive services including outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits, temporary financial assistance, and optional supportive services such as legal aid and employment support. The goal is to help veteran families quickly access and maintain permanent housing, with a focus on addressing homelessness and housing instability.
