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

Haven Of Rest Ministries Inc. (doing business as The Haven Of Rest) received a $450,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, Under Secretary for Health, under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, funds case management services designed to increase housing stability for veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The organization will deliver these services through partnerships with community organizations that provide focused housing stability interventions.

The GPD Program, established in 1994 as the VA's largest transitional housing initiative, supports community-based organizations in providing comprehensive supportive services to homeless and at-risk veterans. Haven Of Rest Ministries Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Battle Creek, Michigan, leverages its existing expertise in emergency shelter, residential care, and transitional housing services to deliver case management that facilitates veterans' transition to permanent housing and self-sufficiency. This case management grant complements the organization's concurrent contract work with the VA and its receipt of additional Continuum of Care Program grants, creating an integrated service delivery model for vulnerable veteran populations in Michigan.
