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

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $6.4 million Project Grant to New Mexico Veterans Integration Centers (NMVIC) on March 23, 2022 under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024). The grant funding will support NMVIC's efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans in New Mexico.

The VA GPD Program aims to develop and promote the availability of transitional housing and supportive services for homeless Veterans. Since 1994, the program has provided grants to community-based organizations to help Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination. NMVIC will use this award to further the program's goal of addressing Veteran homelessness by establishing more independent housing options.
