Opportunity Summary:
The Urban and Non Urban Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) for Program Year 2013 is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) through the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), authorized under 38 U.S.C. Section 2021. The core purpose of the program is employment focused: it funds organizations to provide job training, counseling, and placement services (including job readiness, literacy, and skills training) that help homeless veterans move as quickly as possible into the labor force. For this solicitation, applicants must apply under one of two geographic categories, Urban or Non Urban. Projects serving homeless veterans on Native American tribal lands are specifically encouraged to apply under the Non Urban category.
HVRP is designed around two main objectives. First, it aims to directly help homeless veterans reintegrate into meaningful employment by funding practical workforce services such as job placement assistance, occupational training, counseling, supportive services, and related help that removes barriers to work. Second, it is intended to strengthen and stimulate effective local service delivery systems, recognizing that homelessness among veterans is rarely caused by a single issue and often involves overlapping challenges such as lack of stable housing, limited recent work history, health or behavioral health needs, legal issues, and other obstacles that can prevent veterans from stabilizing their lives and reentering the workforce. The solicitation does not require applicants to follow a single mandated program model, but it does require proposals to fully address the operational, administrative, and financial requirements laid out in the announcement and to show a credible, ready to launch approach that matches local conditions and needs.
Funding for the competition was anticipated to total up to $5,000,000 (subject to appropriations). VETS expected to make around 16 awards. Grant sizes depend on the category: Urban grants must request between $100,000 and $300,000, while Non Urban grants must request between $100,000 and $200,000. Applications that request amounts outside the allowed range are treated as non-responsive and are not evaluated, so budgeting within the correct minimum and maximum is a strict requirement. While VETS planned to award grants in both categories, the final number in each category would be determined after selections. Awards are primarily made on merit, although the proposed funding levels across the pool of high scoring applications may also be considered. Applicants must clearly state which category they are applying under, and the Grant Officer retains the right to negotiate both the final award amount and the geographic service area as part of the award process.
A broad range of entities are eligible to apply, as long as they are capable of running an effective program and are prepared to begin services immediately at the start of the grant period. Eligible applicants include State and local Workforce Investment Boards (established under the Workforce Investment Act), local public agencies (such as cities or counties with taxing and spending authority), Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), for-profit/commercial entities, and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations. Nonprofits claiming 501(c)(3) status must include a current, valid IRS determination letter with the application; without it, the application is deemed non-responsive and will not be evaluated. The solicitation also notes restrictions related to lobbying for certain nonprofit entities, referencing the Lobbying Disclosure Act and applicable cost principles.
Key logistical details for this opportunity include the program period of performance, which ran from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. The opportunity was posted April 3, 2013, and applications were due May 3, 2013 (with the same date listed as the original and current closing date). The funding opportunity number is SGA 13-01, and the CFDA number is 17.805 (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The announcement emphasizes that applicants are responsible for monitoring Grants.gov and the VETS website for any amendments or addenda, and it states that the solicitation package includes the necessary instructions and forms to apply, along with an explanation of submission requirements and the selection process. For access issues or questions, the listed contact is Cassandra Mitchell, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-693-4570 or mitchell.cassandra@dol.gov.
