This funding is part of a record-high $1.17 billion in grants awarded to 680 organizations across the country to fight Veteran homelessness. The grants follow VA’s success in housing 51,936 homeless Veterans in Fiscal Year 2025, the highest number in seven years.
Resource and supportive services grants will be distributed through the agency’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program to:
- Prevent the imminent loss of a home.
- Identify new, more suitable housing situations for Veterans and families.
- Rapidly re-house Veterans and their families who are homeless and might remain homeless without assistance.
Funds for transitional housing and intensive supportive services will be distributed through the agency’s Grant and Per Diem (GPD) program to:
- Fund transitional housing with supportive services or service centers.
- Support transition-in-place housing, where Veterans remain in their current housing unit while receiving services to help them move toward permanent, stable housing.
- Provide special housing designed to better serve women Veterans and those who are chronically mentally ill, frail, or elderly.
