Veterans Affairs New York Division Of

Veterans Affairs New York Division Of, doing business as Long Island State Veterans Home, operates as a U.S. state government entity subordinate to the State of New York and acts as a federal grant recipient in the Department of Veterans Affairs funding stream. The entity receives federal project grants from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to support nursing workforce development, facility construction, and infrastructure upgrades at its nursing-home-care facility in Stony Brook, New York, operating on a fifty-fifty cost-sharing model with the State of New York.

Long Island State Veterans Home's federal award footprint consists entirely of grants (30 awards, 100% prime recipient status) concentrated within the Department of Veterans Affairs across three distinct grantor entities: the VHA Under Secretary for Health, the VHA proper, and the Department of Veterans Affairs itself. Recent activity reflects two primary grant programs. The first is the Payments to States for Programs to Promote the Hiring and Retention of Nurses at State Veterans Homes program (CFDA 64.053), which funds nursing education and workforce retention initiatives. A $310,184 award dated October 1, 2025, with completion September 30, 2026, supports tuition assistance for Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) licenses, Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees in nursing, and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degrees; preceptor incentive compensation; advanced health assessment training; and gerontological nursing certification. Prior awards under the same program dated January 30, 2025 ($328,451.50 federal share) and November 13, 2023 ($278,000 federal share) similarly funded nursing degree completion and certification programs. The second program is the Grants to States for Construction of State Home Facilities program (CFDA 64.005), which funds facility renovation, expansion, and infrastructure work. Notable construction-program awards include a $9.32 million grant (September 14, 2021) for negative pressure unit conversions, a $3.26 million grant (September 7, 2021) for comprehensive telehealth infrastructure, a $2.14 million award (September 7, 2021) for resident unit oxygen system installations, and multiple awards for HVAC upgrades totaling over $2 million across the 2021–2025 period.

Combined federal dollars obligated across all thirty awards total $1.26 billion. Customer concentration aligns entirely with the Department of Veterans Affairs: the VHA Under Secretary for Health holds seventeen awards, the VHA proper holds ten, and the Department of Veterans Affairs holds three. Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal activity. The entity does not hold federal contracts or serve as a subcontractor; its federal relationship is grant-based exclusively.
