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 $2.5 million Project Grant on August 20, 2021 to United States Veterans Initiative (USVI) through the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024).

The grant funding will support USVI's efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans in Texas. As VA's largest program for transitional housing assistance to homeless Veterans, the GPD Program aims to promote the development and provision of supportive housing and/or supportive services with the goal of helping eligible persons achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination. This particular award furthers those goals by converting congregate housing accommodations into individual units to better serve Veterans experiencing homelessness in Texas.
