Opportunity Summary:
The Solicitation for Grant Application for Urban and Non Urban Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) Grants (Funding Opportunity Number SGA 01 12) is a discretionary grant competition announced by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), under the authority of 38 U.S.C. Section 2021. The central purpose of the program is to speed the reintegration of homeless veterans into the labor force by funding projects that deliver employment-focused services such as job training, counseling, and placement. The solicitation is structured around two geographic funding categories, Urban and Non Urban, and applicants must clearly state which category they are applying under.
The program is driven by two related goals. First, it aims to help eligible homeless veterans secure meaningful employment by offering practical, work-directed support that can include job readiness activities, literacy and skills training, individualized counseling, job placement, and related assistance. Second, it is meant to strengthen and stimulate effective local service delivery systems capable of responding to the complex, overlapping problems that often accompany veteran homelessness. In other words, the grants are not only about placing individuals into jobs, but also about improving how communities coordinate services so veterans can stabilize their lives and remain connected to employment pathways.
There is no single required service model that applicants must follow, which gives organizations flexibility to design programs that match local conditions. At the same time, proposals must meet all operational, administrative, and financial requirements laid out in the solicitation. Competitive applications are expected to show that the applicant understands both universal barriers faced by homeless veterans and the specific local or regional factors contributing to homelessness and unemployment in the proposed service area. The solicitation also emphasizes readiness: applicants must be able to administer an effective program and be prepared to start immediately on the first day of the grant performance period.
Funding is anticipated to total up to $15,000,000 across both Urban and Non Urban awards. Award sizes are tightly bounded and proposals outside these ranges are considered nonresponsive and will not be reviewed. Urban grants must request between $100,000 (minimum) and $300,000 (maximum). Non Urban grants must request between $100,000 (minimum) and $200,000 (maximum). VETS expects to make awards in both categories, but the final number of grants in each category depends on application merit and the amounts requested by successful applicants. The Grant Officer also reserves the right to negotiate proposed funding levels and the geographic service delivery areas.
Eligible applicants include State and Local Workforce Investment Boards established under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), local public agencies (including entities such as cities and counties with taxing and spending authority), for-profit/commercial entities, and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations. Applicants must be familiar with the population and area to be served. Nonprofit applicants asserting 501(c)(3) status must include a current, valid IRS determination letter with the application; if it is missing, the application is deemed nonresponsive and will not be evaluated. The solicitation also includes an important eligibility restriction: nonprofit organizations incorporated under IRS Code Section 501(c)(4) that engage in lobbying activities are not eligible for federal grant funds. In addition, program activities may not include fundraising for, or lobbying of, federal, state, or local governments, consistent with applicable cost principles (referenced as OMB Circular A-122 in the notice). No cost sharing or matching is required for this opportunity.
Key administrative details from the notice include the CFDA listing (17.805, Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project) and the funding instrument type (grant). The opportunity was posted March 29, 2012, with an original closing date of April 28, 2012, later updated to April 30, 2012, and archived May 28, 2012. The announcement notes that addenda or updates may be posted on Grants.gov and the VETS website, and applicants are responsible for checking those sources for the most current information and forms.
