Federal Grant Award Summary

Project Community Connections Inc. received a $2.23 million project grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The organization will deliver comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Georgia who are experiencing homelessness, transitioning to permanent housing, or at risk of housing instability. Required services include outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits. These core services are complemented by optional temporary financial assistance provided directly to third parties for housing-related expenses, including rental assistance, utility payments, security and utility deposits, moving costs, childcare, transportation, emergency housing assistance, and general housing stability supplies.

The SSVF Program operates on a housing-first model designed to rapidly re-house homeless veterans while preventing homelessness among at-risk veteran households. Project Community Connections Inc. may also offer optional legal assistance and financial management services to support program participants. By coordinating these services, the organization aims to enable veteran families to access and maintain permanent rental housing quickly and efficiently while facilitating access to additional supports such as healthcare, employment, and legal services necessary to sustain housing stability and improve quality of life.
