The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded a $1,006,385 Project Grant to Kentucky River Foothills Development Council Inc. under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF Program, CFDA 64.033). The grant will fund supportive services for very low-income Veteran families from September 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023.
Required services include outreach, case management, and assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits. Additional services that may be provided are temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for childcare, emergency housing, transportation, rent/utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance. Legal assistance and financial management services are also optional supportive services. The SSVF Program aims to coordinate or provide these services to low-income Veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.
