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

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration awarded a $3.1 million Project Grant to Hope Center Inc. on March 23, 2022 under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (CFDA 64.024). The funding will support Hope Center's efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans in Kentucky. Specifically, the grant capital will be used to convert existing housing from congregate facilities into individual units, in line with the GPD Program's goal of transitioning Veterans experiencing homelessness to independent living. As VA's largest program for transitional housing of homeless Veterans since 1994, the GPD Program aims to promote the development and provision of supportive housing and/or supportive services with the goal of helping Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination.
