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

Start Corp, a Louisiana-based nonprofit organization, received a $450,000 Project Grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024) for the three-year period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. Under this Case Management Grant award, Start Corp will provide case management services in partnership with community organizations to increase housing stability for veterans by delivering focused housing stability interventions. These services support veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness in obtaining and retaining permanent housing.

The grant funds case management activities that help veterans navigate the transition from homelessness or housing instability to self-sufficient permanent housing. As one of the five distinct grant mechanisms available under the GPD Program, the Case Management Grant specifically targets supportive services including benefits navigation, housing placement assistance, and coordinated care with community-based providers. Start Corp's extensive experience administering federal grants for veteran services, homelessness prevention, and supportive housing programs positions the organization to effectively implement these housing stability services across southeastern Louisiana.
