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

Volunteers of America of Illinois received a $450,000 Project Grant award from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024). This Case Management Grant award funds the organization to provide case management services in partnership with community organizations that deliver focused housing stability interventions for veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The grant supports the VA's objective to increase housing stability for veterans by leveraging community-based organizations' expertise and existing service infrastructure.

Under this three-year funding period, Volunteers of America of Illinois will deliver comprehensive case management services designed to help veterans obtain and maintain permanent housing. These services typically include benefits navigation, employment assistance, housing placement coordination, and ongoing supportive services to facilitate veterans' transition to self-sufficiency. As an established nonprofit organization with extensive experience serving homeless and at-risk veteran populations across Illinois, the organization brings demonstrated capacity and existing partnerships to execute this housing stability initiative in alignment with the GPD Program's core mission of supporting community agencies in providing transitional and permanent housing solutions for vulnerable veteran populations.
