Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program
Per Diem Only (PDO) Grant
VA is announcing the availability of funding for new grants under the PDO grant component of the VA Homeless Providers GPD program in an effort to reduce homelessness among Veterans.
Applications for assistance are being accepted from eligible entities to provide per diem payments for facilitating housing stabilization for Veterans experiencing homelessness. Funding will support VA’s Homeless Providers GPD Program PDO transitional supportive housing bed models and service centers. These PDO service models are designed to meet different Veteran populations at various stages as they move to stable housing.
VA anticipates that the grants will be for a period of 3 years starting in fiscal year (FY) 2024 on October 1, 2023 and ending September 30, 2026. VA anticipates awarding approximately 350 grants for a total of approximately 10,500 transitional supportive housing beds and 15 service centers nationwide. Applications will be accepted either for transitional supportive housing beds or for a service center. Applications for transitional supportive housing may include one or a combination of bed models (i.e., Bridge Housing, Clinical Treatment, Hospital to Housing, Low Demand and/or Service Intensive Transitional Housing). Applications may not request both transitional supportive housing beds and a service center within the same application.
This NOFO contains information concerning the program, application process, available funding, selection criteria and award process.
DATES: Applications for grants must be received by the GPD National Program Office no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, February 6, 2023. In the interest of fairness to all, this deadline is firm as to date and hour. VA will treat any application received after the deadline as ineligible. Applicants should take this practice into account and submit their materials early to avoid the risk of unanticipated delays, computer service outages or other submission-related problems that might result in ineligibility.
ADDRESSES: Instructions for accessing the application are available at www.va.gov/homeless/gpd.asp. The required documentation for applications is outlined under the Content and Form of Application section of this NOFO. Standard forms, which must be included as part of a complete application package, may be downloaded directly from VA’s GPD program website at www.va.gov/homeless/gpd.asp.
