The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awarded a $3.85 million Project Grant to Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania Inc. on March 23, 2022 under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (GPD Program, CFDA 64.024).

The grant funding will support Veterans Leadership Program's efforts to reduce congregate living and create individual living units for homeless Veterans. As VA's largest transitional housing program, the GPD Program aims to promote the development and provision of supportive housing and/or supportive services with the goal of helping eligible Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination. This award advances those goals by transitioning homeless Veterans from congregate settings into more independent living situations.
