US Department of Labor announces $17M funding opportunity to support services for homeless veterans, those at risk [ http://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/vets/vets20250115 ] 01/15/2025 07:00 AM EST
WASHINGTON  – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the availability of $17 million in grant funding to support organizations working to help homeless veterans and those at risk of homelessness by providing training and employment services. Administered by the department’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service, the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program seeks to reduce and prevent veterans’ homelessness by assisting them in overcoming obstacles and successfully reentering the workforce. While veteran homelessness has reached an all-time low nationwide since measurement began in 2009, down more than 55 percent since 2010 and down 7.5 percent since 2023, further progress through initiatives such as HVRP must be made.HVRP grants will provide each recipient up to $500,000 annually for up to $1.5 million over a three-year period. Award recipients will be chosen to deliver workplace skills training, support participation in Registered Apprenticeship programs or other types of on-the-job training and supply employment placement assistance. Part of the broader Biden-Harris administration effort to reduce homelessness among U.S. veterans, the initiative is a collaboration between the department, the Interagency Council on Homelessness, the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Continuum of Care Program, and the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Homeless Programs Office. Eligible applicants include state and local Workforce Development Boards; federally recognized Native American governments; Native American organizations; state agencies; for-profit entities and non-profit organizations, including community- and faith-based organizations; and public, state, and private institutions of higher education. To provide information about the grant program and assist prospective applicants, VETS is offering two webinars in February. Participants will be able to learn more about the funding opportunity and ask questions about the application process on the following dates: Register to attend the webinar on Feb. 5, 2025 at 2 p.m. ESTRegister to attend the webinar on Feb. 11, 2025 at 3 p.m. ESTApply for this funding opportunity by March 17, 2025.  body { font-size: 1em; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: #333333; }
