Opportunity Summary:
The Homeless Female Veterans and Veterans with Families Reintegration Program is a U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) grant competition under the broader Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP). Authorized by 38 U.S.C. Section 2021 and specifically focused under 38 U.S.C. Section 2021A, this funding is aimed at helping homeless female veterans and homeless veterans who have families move back into the workforce as quickly and sustainably as possible. The core purpose is practical and employment-driven: provide job training, counseling, job readiness services (including literacy and skills training), and job placement support so participants can secure meaningful work and begin stabilizing their lives.
The opportunity emphasizes two big outcomes. First, it is meant to directly help eligible homeless female veterans and veterans with families obtain and retain employment through a set of coordinated services. Second, it is designed to strengthen and expand local service delivery systems by encouraging networks among federal, state, and local resources that support veterans. In other words, applicants are expected not only to run a program, but to build a working system of partnerships and referrals that can address the complicated, real-world barriers that contribute to homelessness and keep people from holding steady jobs.
Program design expectations are centered on a client-centered case management approach. Applicants are expected to show how they will assess each participant, coordinate services around individual needs, connect veterans to appropriate resources, and track progress toward employment and retention. Services can include job placement assistance, occupational or skills training, counseling, mentoring, and supportive services, along with other forms of help that make it more realistic for participants to enter and stay in the labor market. Proposals are expected to be flexible enough to respond to both common barriers (like limited recent work history, transportation issues, or gaps in credentials) and local or regional issues that may uniquely affect veteran homelessness in the proposed service area.
Funding is divided into two geographic categories: Urban and Non-Urban. Applicants must clearly choose and identify the category they are applying under, and proposals are judged primarily on merit. Native American tribal lands are specifically encouraged to apply under the Non-Urban category. Total funding anticipated for this solicitation is up to $5,000,000, with an expected 16 awards. Award sizes are tightly defined: Urban grants must request between $100,000 and $300,000, while Non-Urban grants must request between $100,000 and $200,000. Applications that request amounts outside these ranges are considered non-responsive and will not be reviewed. The Grant Officer also retains the right to negotiate both the final funding amount and the proposed geographic service area.
Eligible applicants are broad and include State and Local Workforce Investment Boards (under the Workforce Investment Act), local public agencies (such as city or county entities with authority to levy taxes and spend public funds), Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations, for-profit/commercial entities, and nonprofit organizations including faith-based and community-based groups. Applicants must demonstrate familiarity with the population and service area and must be prepared to launch services immediately at the start of the grant period. Nonprofits claiming 501(c)(3) status must include a current IRS determination letter or the application will be deemed non-responsive. The solicitation also notes restrictions related to certain 501(c)(4) organizations that engage in lobbying activities.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant (CFDA 17.805) with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted May 15, 2013, with a closing date of June 14, 2013, and it was archived July 14, 2013. Applicants were instructed to monitor Grants.gov and the DOL VETS website for any addenda or updates. The listed point of contact for access issues was Cassandra Mitchell, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-693-4570 and mitchell.cassandra@dol.gov.
