Federal Grant Award Summary

Village For Vets received a $2.42 million Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033). The organization will provide comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in California who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing. Village For Vets will deliver mandatory core services including outreach and engagement, case management, and assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits. Additionally, the organization may provide optional supportive services such as temporary financial assistance (paid directly to third parties) for child care, emergency housing assistance, transportation, rental assistance, utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance, as well as legal assistance and financial management services.

The SSVF Program employs a housing-first approach designed to rapidly re-house homeless veterans and prevent homelessness among at-risk veteran populations. Grant funds support direct service delivery rather than administrative overhead, with all grantees required to track outcomes and maintain compliance with federal record retention and financial management requirements under 2 CFR Part 200.
