Federal Grant Award Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded St. Vincent De Paul of Baltimore, Inc. a $2,518,731 Project Grant under the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) for the period of October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The grant funds comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families in Maryland who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, or recently exited permanent housing.

St. Vincent De Paul of Baltimore will deliver mandatory core services including outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA benefits, and coordination of other public benefits. The organization may also provide temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties on behalf of participants for housing-related expenses including rental assistance, utilities, security deposits, moving costs, emergency housing assistance, child care, and transportation. Optional supportive services may include legal assistance and financial management services. The program employs a housing-first approach designed to rapidly re-house homeless veterans and prevent homelessness among at-risk veteran households while facilitating access to healthcare, employment, legal services, and other supports to maintain permanent housing stability.
