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

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024), awarded Volunteers of America of Illinois a $675,000 Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. This Case Management Grant funds targeted housing stability services designed to help veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness transition to and maintain permanent housing. The award supports comprehensive case management activities delivered through partnerships with community-based organizations, enabling eligible veterans to access benefits navigation, employment assistance, and transitional support services that facilitate self-sufficiency and housing stability.

Volunteers of America of Illinois will leverage the funding to strengthen its existing veteran support infrastructure in Illinois, building upon its established track record of delivering transitional housing and supportive services through prior GPD Program awards and Department of Veterans Affairs contracts. The case management services funded under this three-year award directly align with the GPD Program's primary mission to serve as the VA's largest transitional housing initiative for veterans experiencing homelessness since 1994, providing critical intervention services to a vulnerable population requiring coordinated housing and social support.
