Opportunity Summary:
The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), designed to help homeless veterans return to the workforce as quickly and successfully as possible. Backed by the authority in Title 38 of the United States Code, Section 2021, the program focuses on delivering practical employment and training supports such as job training, employment counseling, job placement services, and related job readiness activities. This can include literacy support and skills training aimed at removing common barriers to employment and helping participants transition into steady, meaningful work.
For program year 2015, VETS anticipated awarding about 19 grants from an estimated total funding pool of roughly $4,000,000. HVRP has two core aims: first, to provide direct employment services that lead to reintegration into the labor force for homeless veterans; and second, to encourage and strengthen coordinated service delivery systems that can address the overlapping challenges homeless veterans often face, such as limited recent work history, health or behavioral health needs, justice involvement, lack of transportation, and unstable housing. In other words, the program is not only about short-term job placement, but also about building effective local networks and approaches that can produce durable outcomes for a complex population.
Applicants must propose services in one of two geographic categories: Urban or Non-Urban. Funding levels depend on the category. Urban grants range from $100,000 (floor) to $300,000 (ceiling), while Non-Urban grants range from $100,000 to $200,000. The solicitation specifically encourages applications proposing to serve homeless veterans on Native American tribal lands, signaling an interest in reaching veterans in tribal communities and addressing geographic and service-access barriers that may exist there.
The grant period of performance is 12 months, but the structure includes additional responsibilities beyond the active service year. Each grant year also requires an additional 9 months of follow-up and reporting after the main performance period ends, which reflects an emphasis on tracking longer-term outcomes and documenting results. While the initial award covers one year, grants may be considered for continuation funding in additional years if federal funds remain available and the grantee meets performance expectations.
Eligibility is broad and includes several types of organizations capable of operating employment and training programs. Eligible applicants include State and Local Workforce Investment Boards (SWIBs/LWIBs), public agencies such as state agencies and general-purpose local governments (typically cities and counties), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments, for-profit/commercial entities, and nonprofit organizations including community- and faith-based groups. However, nonprofits incorporated under IRS Code Section 501(c)(4) are explicitly not eligible. Regardless of organization type, applicants are expected to understand the local geography and the homeless veteran population they intend to serve, and they must be prepared to run an effective program that can start immediately on the first day of the award period.
Key administrative details for this opportunity include Funding Opportunity Number SGA 15-01 and CFDA number 17.805 (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The posting date was April 13, 2015, with a closing date of May 12, 2015, and an archive date of June 11, 2015. Additional program information was referenced through the USDOL VETS programs page (http://www.dol.gov/vets/programs/index.htm).
