VA is providing capital funding to reduce congregrate living and create individual living units for homeless veterans

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $1.5 million Project Grant to Access Housing Inc. on August 20, 2021 under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (GPD Program, CFDA 64.024). The funding will support Access Housing's efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans. As VA's largest transitional housing program, the GPD Program aims to promote the development and provision of supportive housing and/or supportive services with the goal of helping homeless Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination. This particular award furthers that goal by converting congregate housing accommodations into individual units to better serve Veterans experiencing homelessness in Washington, D.C.
