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

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded $1.5 million to Steps To Recovery, Inc. on August 20, 2021 under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (VA GPD Program, CFDA 64.024). The funding will support Steps To Recovery's efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans in Florida.

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 awarded grants to community-based providers developing housing and rehabilitative programs for this vulnerable population. Steps To Recovery will use this award to directly support the VA's goal of moving Veterans experiencing homelessness into individual living environments with needed supportive services, helping them achieve residential stability and improve their well-being.
