Project Grant 21TX29224

This federal Project Grant award of $7,309,160 from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) is provided to the American G.I. Forum, National Veterans Outreach Program, Incorporated (NVOP), a non-profit organization. The grant will fund NVOP to deliver comprehensive supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or transitioning to permanent housing. Services include outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related costs such as rent, utilities, security deposits, moving expenses, and emergency supplies. NVOP may also provide optional services like legal aid and financial counseling. This award will allow NVOP to rapidly re-house homeless veterans, prevent homelessness, and promote long-term housing stability and self-sufficiency for veteran families in Texas. NVOP has a track record of leveraging SSVF and other federal grant funding to deliver over $100 million in vital services to low-income and homeless veterans.
