The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration awarded a $2,230,109 Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program grant to Project Community Connections Inc., a non-profit organization in Atlanta, Georgia. The grant, awarded on October 7, 2024, will fund the provision of comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing. Key services to be delivered include outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rent, utilities, child care, transportation, and moving costs. As a sub-grantee, Project Community Connections Inc. has also received funding to support pre-development expenses for the Thrive Sweet Auburn affordable housing project, which will provide permanent supportive housing units. The SSVF Program, authorized under CFDA 64.033, aims to promote housing stability among veteran families through a range of evidence-based interventions provided by non-profit and community-based organizations.
