The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $7.3 million Project Grant to Aspire Health Partners, Inc. on March 23, 2022 under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (GPD Program; CFDA 64.024). The funding will support Aspire Health Partners' efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans in Florida.

The VA Homeless Providers GPD Program aims to develop and promote community-based housing and supportive services programs for homeless Veterans. Since 1994, the program has awarded grants to community agencies to help Veterans achieve residential stability, increase skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination. Aspire Health Partners will leverage this award to directly advance the program's goals of transitioning Veterans from homelessness to independent living with targeted housing assistance and supportive services.
