Vietnam Veterans Of San Diego

Vietnam Veterans Of San Diego Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in San Diego, California, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, delivering veteran homeless services, housing stabilization, and employment reintegration programs to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Department of Labor. The organization holds no federal prime contracts and operates entirely within the grant funding ecosystem, with 99% of recent awards as prime grant recipients.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on comprehensive supportive services for homeless and at-risk veterans, including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, case management, benefits counseling, employment services, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related costs. Recent representative grants include a $5.86 million VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) award (CFDA 64.033) for fiscal year 2025–2026 providing outreach, case management, and benefits assistance to very low-income veteran families across California; a $334,096 HUD Continuum of Care Program grant (CFDA 14.267) for December 2025 through November 2026 supporting permanent housing and supportive services for homeless veterans; a $237,070 DOL Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program grant (CFDA 17.805) for July 2025 through June 2028 delivering employment readiness, vocational training, and job placement assistance to veterans in the Imperial Valley region; and a $900,000 VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem award (CFDA 64.024) for three years beginning October 2025 providing case management for housing stability.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward veteran-focused federal agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development leads by award count at 31 awards, while the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health accounts for 30 awards. The Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service, the broader Department of Veterans Affairs, and the VA's Veterans Health Administration collectively round out the top five customers, together representing 80% of all awards. The VA dominates the potential-value ranking, with the VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 22 alone carrying $2 million in combined potential value. The organization works under multiple VA Indefinite Delivery Contracts, including VA26215D0246 (five task orders, $249 thousand combined value) and VA262P0430 (three task orders, $816 thousand combined value).

Activity has remained steady at five to seven awards annually over the past five years, with six awards in 2025 to date. The organization faces recompete exposure on seven awards with ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor's combined potential value across all 139 awards stands at $2.1 million, though obligated dollars total $137.5 million, reflecting the accrual-based accounting of multi-year grant awards. Work is performed across California, with geographic concentration in San Diego County (central, northern, southeastern, and southern regions) and the Imperial Valley, serving homeless and at-risk veteran populations including combat veterans, disabled veterans, PTSD-affected veterans, LGBTQ+ veterans, female veterans, and justice-involved veterans. The organization is a sub-recipient on one grant award from the California Employment Development Department (April 2022, State of California prime grantee).
