Opportunity Summary:
The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) National Technical Assistance Center (NTAC) Cooperative Agreement(s) for Program Year 2010 was a U.S. Department of Labor initiative, administered through the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), to support and strengthen the national technical assistance capacity behind federally funded employment reintegration efforts for homeless veterans. The opportunity was authorized under 38 U.S.C. Section 2021, created by the Homeless Veterans Comprehensive Assistance Act of 2001, with the core purpose of speeding homeless veterans return to the labor force by improving how programs operate, how partners coordinate, and how employers engage.
Rather than funding direct client services, this competition focused on maintaining and improving the National Technical Assistance Center that supports HVRP and its related program components: the Homeless Female Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Families Program (HFV/HVFP) and the Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program (IVTP). The NTAC was intended to function as a centralized source of guidance, problem-solving, and information-sharing for a wide range of audiences, including existing and prospective grantees, employers, Veterans Service Organizations, federal/state/local partners (including workforce investment boards), nonprofit and faith-based organizations, community groups, and even the general public. A major theme throughout the notice is that VETS expected the NTAC to respond to a high volume of nationwide questions and requests for help, reflecting that the program historically received thousands of inquiries each year by phone, email, and written correspondence.
The responsibilities for the awardee or awardees were broad and hands-on, and they were to be carried out under the direction and supervision of USDOL VETS, which is why the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. Key expectations included providing general technical assistance and practical guidance to eligible organizations so they could improve the design and performance of programs serving homeless veterans. Another central requirement was employer outreach: the NTAC was expected to develop, conduct, and document extensive outreach to national, state, and local employers to increase awareness of HVRP, HFV/HVFP, and IVTP, and to expand employment and training opportunities for homeless veterans and veterans at risk of homelessness. The notice also required the awardee(s) to contact current grantees to identify, extract, document, and share at least twenty best practices or case study style overviews, using definitions and direction set by VETS. In addition, the NTAC was expected to assist VETS with research suggestions and program-improvement studies as defined and directed by the agency, meaning the center would also play a role in continuous learning and system refinement, not just day-to-day troubleshooting.
The solicitation also signaled that the NTAC might be asked to support larger-scale communications and coordination activities, including conference planning and management assistance and the provision of video or web-based teleconferencing services to help distribute information to grantees, potential applicants, and other stakeholders. Across all tasks, the work was tied to two overarching program objectives that the NTAC was expected to help VETS and grantees implement: first, helping reintegrate homeless veterans into meaningful employment; and second, stimulating the development of effective service delivery systems that can respond to the complex barriers faced by homeless veterans and those at risk of homelessness.
Funding for PY 2010 was projected at up to $750,000 total, with an anticipated one or two awards depending on application quality. The award ceiling was $500,000 and the award floor was $300,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The period of performance for the base year ran from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, and the notice allowed for up to two additional option years, contingent on congressional appropriations, agency decisions to exercise the options, and satisfactory technical and financial performance by the awardee(s). The opportunity was posted May 25, 2010, and closed June 24, 2010, under Funding Opportunity Number SGA 10-06, CFDA 17.805 (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project). Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education.
