Opportunity Summary:
The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) under the authority of 38 U.S.C. Section 2021. The core purpose of the program is employment-focused: it funds organizations to provide job training, counseling, job placement, and related employment supports that help homeless Veterans move back into the workforce as quickly as possible. Beyond helping individual Veterans find work, the grant also aims to strengthen local service systems so communities can respond more effectively to the complicated, overlapping challenges homeless Veterans often face, such as gaps in work history, limited skills or credentials, and barriers that make it hard to maintain stable employment.
This solicitation separates projects into two geographic categories: Urban and Non Urban. Urban projects are those serving a high concentration of homeless Veterans in the metropolitan areas of the 75 largest U.S. cities by population plus the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico (as listed in the solicitation's Appendix G). Urban applicants must submit written documentation and, if available, maps showing that the proposed service area has a population of at least 569,463, which is the smallest population among those top-75 cities based on the 2000 Census. Non Urban projects serve areas not listed in Appendix G, and applicants must similarly document (and map, if possible) that the service area population is below 569,463. Each applicant must clearly state in the application whether they are applying under the Urban or Non Urban category, since the funding caps and expectations differ by category.
Funded programs are expected to deliver a mix of direct employment services and practical supports that make employment achievable and sustainable. The notice highlights job placement services, job training, counseling, job readiness activities, and literacy and skills training as key allowable service types, along with supportive services and other assistance needed to speed reintegration into the labor force. The program design is intended to be flexible, meaning applicants should propose approaches that address both common barriers faced by homeless Veterans and the specific conditions of the local or regional labor market and service environment. In other words, the strongest proposals are likely to show how the grantee will connect homeless Veterans to real jobs and career pathways while coordinating with partner systems that can address related needs that affect employability.
For Program Year (PY) 2010, VETS anticipated up to $5 million available for Urban grants and up to $5 million for Non Urban grants, and it expected to make awards in both categories. Individual award sizes are expected to vary based on application merit and program type. Urban grants are expected to range from $75,000 up to a maximum of $300,000. Non Urban grants are expected to range from $75,000 up to a maximum of $200,000. The opportunity lists an expected 18 awards overall and notes that final counts by category would be determined after selections. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this competition, which can make participation more feasible for organizations that do not have large unrestricted funds.
The grant period is structured in two phases. The main, active performance period runs from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. After that, grantees must provide and document follow-up services for nine additional months, from July 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. During the follow-up period, grantees are expected to report on follow-up contacts and outcomes at 90, 180, and 270 days after a participant enters employment, consistent with Common Measures reporting requirements. This structure signals that VETS is not only interested in initial placements, but also in whether employment is being retained and supported after the Veteran starts working.
Eligibility is fairly broad and includes a range of public, private, and nonprofit entities, provided they can demonstrate knowledge of the community and the target population and the capacity to run an effective, timely program. Eligible applicants include State and Local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) established under the Workforce Investment Act; public agencies such as cities, counties, and certain state agencies with taxing and spending authority; for-profit or commercial entities; and nonprofit community-based organizations. Nonprofits claiming 501(c)(3) status must include a current, valid IRS determination letter in the application package or the application is considered nonresponsive and will not be reviewed. The notice also clarifies that 501(c)(4) organizations are not eligible under this announcement.
Key administrative details in the posted opportunity include the Funding Opportunity Number SGA 10-01 and CFDA 17.805 (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project). The opportunity was posted March 26, 2010, with an application deadline of April 26, 2010, and an archive date of May 26, 2010. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to a DOL grants management contact (Cassandra Mitchell) and applicants were advised to monitor Grants.gov and the VETS website for any addendums or updates to the solicitation. Optional continuation funding is also mentioned: up to two additional years of funding could be available, but only if funds are available, VETS chooses to exercise those option years, and the grantee (and any subawardees) performs satisfactorily.
