Opportunity Summary:
The Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program (IVTP) is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (DOL VETS) to help incarcerated Veterans, and Veterans transitioning out of incarceration, who are at risk of homelessness successfully reenter the workforce and community. The program is grounded in federal statutory authority under 38 U.S.C. Sections 2021 and 2023, as amended by Public Law 110-387, Section 602, which expanded and extended referral and counseling services for at-risk Veterans transitioning from certain institutions. The overall intent is to reduce the barriers that commonly derail reentry, especially unemployment, unstable housing, and lack of connection to supportive benefits and services.
Funding for this competition totals up to $4,000,000, with DOL VETS expecting to make at least twelve (12) awards. Individual grants are anticipated to be as high as $300,000 (award ceiling), with an award floor of $75,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. A specific congressional mandate requires that one of the awards be made to a penal institution under the jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Projects may focus on incarcerated Veterans within one or more levels of the corrections system, including federal, state, and local facilities, and the solicitation emphasizes that programs should be flexible enough to address national, regional, and local reentry challenges.
The core service model expected under IVTP is a direct-service, case management and counseling approach that actively links participants to employment and training opportunities as well as stabilizing supports. Applicants are expected to provide referral and career counseling and to connect eligible Veterans to job training and placement assistance, job readiness preparation, life skills support, and retention-focused services that improve the likelihood of keeping a job after release. The solicitation also highlights the need to coordinate access to housing, health care, and other benefits, recognizing that employment outcomes are closely tied to basic stability during reentry. A key expectation is that grantees build strong networks with federal, state, and local resources that already serve Veterans and justice-involved populations, rather than operating in isolation.
The opportunity particularly encourages proactive outreach strategies in local and county jails, since these facilities are often the first point where justice-involved Veterans can be identified and engaged for pre-release planning. VETS also signals interest in approaches targeted toward returning Veterans who recently served overseas, implying an emphasis on early intervention and tailored support for populations with recent military service who may have distinct needs related to readjustment, health, or employment pathways.
Eligible applicants are broad and include state and local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) established under the Workforce Investment Act, local public agencies (such as cities and counties with taxing and spending authority), for-profit/commercial entities, and nonprofit organizations including community-based organizations. Applicants must demonstrate familiarity with the service area and the target population and show they can run an effective, timely program. Nonprofits claiming 501(c)(3) status must include a current, valid IRS determination letter in the application package or the application will be deemed non-responsive and not reviewed. Organizations primarily engaged in lobbying activities and organized under 501(c)(4) are not eligible.
Administrative details for this specific posting include Funding Opportunity Number SGA 10-04 and CFDA 17.805 (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project). The opportunity was posted May 5, 2010, with an application closing date of June 4, 2010, and an archive date of July 4, 2010.
