The Department of
Veterans Affairs awarded $418 million in grants to more than 260 non-profit
organizations in June, allowing low-income Veteran families around the Nation
to access services under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program.
The grants will
support SSVF services in Fiscal Year 2022. These awards stemmed from a Notice
of Fund Availability (NOFA) published in the Federal Register on November 19,
2020. Thousands of very low-income Veteran families around the Nation who
are permanently housed or transitioning to permanent housing will have access
to crucial services under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF)
Program. The funding will support SSVF services from
October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
SSVF Grantees are
in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. Through partnerships with VA and community programs, SSVF
provides eligible Veteran families with outreach, case management and
assistance obtaining VA and other benefits, which can include health care,
financial planning, childcare, legal and fiduciary payee assistance,
transportation, housing counseling and other services. A list of Grantees is
