VA is providing case management funding to increase housing stabiliity for veterans by working with community organizations that offer focused housing stability services

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, through the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024), awarded a Case Management Grant of $813,550 to Alston Wilkes Society (doing business as Alston Wilkes Central) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. This three-year project grant funds comprehensive case management services designed to increase housing stability for veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness in South Carolina. The funding supports Alston Wilkes Society's partnership with community organizations to deliver focused housing stability interventions, including outreach, case management, benefits navigation, and financial assistance for housing-related expenses.

As a nonprofit organization based in Columbia, South Carolina, Alston Wilkes Society leverages its established expertise in reintegration and support services to serve very low-income veteran families through housing stability programs. The award aligns with the GPD Program's mission as VA's largest transitional housing initiative since 1994, enabling community-based organizations to facilitate veterans' transition to permanent housing and achieve greater self-sufficiency. The grant represents one of 67 documented Case Management Grant awards distributed in the most recent funding cycle, with typical awards valued between $300,000 and $900,000 for three-year performance periods beginning October 2025.
