Project Grant 20ZZ11322

The Volunteers of America Northern Rockies (VOANR) was awarded a $3.88 million Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health. The grant is part of the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (SSVF Program, CFDA 64.033), which provides supportive services to very low-income Veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.

Through this award, VOANR will deliver a range of supportive services to eligible Veteran families, including outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits, and temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for needs such as childcare, housing, transportation, utilities, and moving costs. These services aim to promote housing stability in alignment with program guidelines under 38 CFR Part 62. The one-year project grant period began on October 1, 2021 and will allow VOANR to deliver critical housing support services to low-income Veterans and their families residing in Colorado.
