Opportunity Summary:
The VA Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program Special Need Renewal opportunity is a discretionary, one-year renewal funding notice from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program. It is specifically designed to continue support for projects already operating under the FY 2015 GPD Special Need Grant awards. Rather than opening a broad competition for brand-new providers, this notice focuses on keeping existing Special Need projects running so they can continue serving homeless Veterans who fall into special need categories, along with any collaborative VA Special Need partners tied to those projects.
The purpose of this renewal is continuity of services for homeless Veterans with special needs, which generally means Veterans who require more targeted or specialized housing and supportive services than standard transitional housing models provide. The VA frames the core goal as encouraging current grantees to keep delivering specialized assistance to this population, maintaining program capacity and service stability rather than disrupting placements or care plans. The grant falls under the Housing activity category and is listed under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 64.024, which is the VA Homeless Providers GPD Program.
Eligibility is limited to the types of entities that typically operate community-based housing and service programs, including state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). While these are the eligible applicant types, the notice is targeted to the 21 currently operational FY 2015 Special Need grantees, meaning the expected number of awards is 21 and the practical intent is to fund those existing providers through a renewal application process.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number "VA GPD 2016 SN" and is managed by the VA office referenced as VA-HPGPDP. It was created and posted on May 20, 2016, with an application deadline of June 27, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). The notice indicates an award ceiling is not specified in the summary data provided, and applicants are directed to the full NOFA for details on funding amounts, allowable costs, and the full application requirements. The VA notes that the official NOFA published in the Federal Register and on the GPD Program website contains the detailed guidance on program rules, the renewal application process, and how much funding is available for this one-year renewal period.
