The agency may also use the funding for temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for childcare, emergency housing and transportation, rental and utility payment assistance, security and utility deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability assistance including emergency supplies. The grant aims to help very low-income Veteran families maintain stability in permanent housing.
