The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health awarded $500,000 to Services For The Underserved, Inc. through the VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families Program (CFDA 64.033) on October 1, 2021. This project grant funding will support the coordination and delivery of supportive services to very low-income Veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.
As required by the program, Services For The Underserved, Inc. will provide outreach, case management, and assistance obtaining VA and other public benefits. They may also use the funding to offer temporary financial assistance paid directly to third parties for childcare, emergency housing, transportation, rental/utility payments, security deposits, moving costs, and general housing stability services. Optional services could include legal assistance and financial management support. The goal is to help very low-income Veteran families maintain stability in permanent housing.
