Federal Grant Award Summary

United States Veterans Initiative (U.S.Vets - Las Vegas) received a $5.69 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 provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families experiencing homelessness, transitioning to permanent housing, or at risk of housing instability in Nevada.

As a required component of the SSVF Program, U.S.Vets will deliver four core services: outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits. The grant also authorizes optional temporary financial assistance services paid directly to third parties on behalf of participants, including child care, emergency housing assistance, transportation, rental assistance, utility payments and deposits, security deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance. These services operate under a housing-first model designed to rapidly re-house homeless veterans and prevent housing instability while facilitating access to healthcare, employment, legal services, and other supports necessary for long-term housing sustainability.
