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 $1.9 million Project Grant to Liberation Veteran Services Inc. on August 20, 2021 under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (GPD Program, CFDA 64.024). The funding will support Liberation Veteran Services Inc.'s efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans in Virginia.

The VA Homeless Providers GPD Program aims to develop and promote community-based treatment for homeless Veterans. Since 1994, the program has provided transitional housing assistance to Veterans experiencing homelessness through grants awarded to private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives. Liberation Veteran Services Inc. will use this award to further the program's goal of transitioning Veterans from homelessness to permanent housing by establishing more independent living accommodations.
