Project Grant 2023NC11425

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Health Administration awarded a $4,440,850 Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program grant to Asheville-Buncombe Community Christian Ministry, Inc. (ABCCM), a non-profit organization in North Carolina. The SSVF Program provides grants to private non-profit organizations to deliver comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing.

Through this Project Grant award, ABCCM will use the funding to provide a range of services, including outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rental payments, utilities, security deposits, and moving costs. The grant supports ABCCM's efforts to coordinate and deliver these supportive services to very low-income veteran families in the Asheville-Buncombe County area, with the goal of promoting housing stability and preventing veteran homelessness.
