Opportunity Summary:
The Urban and Non Urban Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) Grants opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run 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 core purpose is to help homeless veterans return to the workforce as quickly and successfully as possible by funding programs that provide job training, counseling, and job placement services. These services can include job readiness activities, literacy training, and skills training, along with other forms of assistance that support a veteran in moving from homelessness toward stable employment.
This solicitation funds two tracks of projects: Urban and Non Urban. Urban projects are those serving areas with high concentrations of homeless veterans in the metropolitan areas of the 75 largest U.S. cities by population (based on the 2000 Census) plus the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico, as listed in the grant notice appendix (Appendix G). To qualify as Urban, an applicant must submit written documentation (and maps if available) showing the proposed service area has a population of at least 569,463, which is the smallest population among those top 75 cities. Non Urban projects serve areas not listed in Appendix G, and applicants must provide documentation (and maps if available) showing the proposed service area population is below 569,463. Applicants have to clearly state in the application whether they are applying for an Urban or a Non Urban award, since funding limits and expectations differ by category.
The program is built around two major objectives. First, it aims to deliver direct services that lead to meaningful employment for homeless veterans, emphasizing rapid and practical reintegration into the labor force. Second, it is intended to strengthen and stimulate local service delivery systems so communities develop more effective ways to respond to the complex challenges homeless veterans face, which often involve overlapping employment, housing, health, and stability barriers. Successful proposals are expected to combine employment-focused services (placement, training, counseling) with supportive services and coordinated assistance, and to design programming that is flexible enough to address both common barriers and unique local or regional employment conditions that affect veterans trying to reenter the workforce.
For Program Year (PY) 2009, VETS anticipated up to $12,000,000 in total funding under this solicitation. Individual award sizes depend on whether the project is Urban or Non Urban. Urban grants have a higher maximum award, with awards expected to range from $75,000 up to $300,000. Non Urban grants are expected to range from $75,000 up to $200,000 (with the notice also highlighting $200,000 as the maximum for Non Urban areas). VETS planned to fund grants in both categories, but the final number of awards in each category would be determined after selections, based on application quality (merit) and the mix of applicants.
The period of performance includes both an active service period and a required follow-up period. The active performance period for these PY 2009 grants runs from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. After that, grantees must continue follow-up services for an additional nine months, from July 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011. During follow-up, grantees are expected to check in and provide services tied to employment retention milestones at 90, 180, and 270 days after a participant enters employment. These follow-up activities must be documented and reported for each eligible participant who entered employment during the active period, consistent with Common Measures reporting requirements. The grant also notes that up to two optional additional years of funding may be available, but only if funds remain available, the agency chooses to exercise the option years, and grantee (and any sub-awardee) performance is satisfactory.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations capable of running employment and reintegration programs for homeless veterans. This includes State and Local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) established under the Workforce Investment Act, local public agencies (such as city or county entities with authority to levy taxes and spend funds), state agencies proposing to serve one or more jurisdictions, for-profit/commercial entities, and non-profit organizations, including faith-based and community-based organizations. Applicants are expected to demonstrate familiarity with the target area and population and the capacity to operate an effective and timely program. Non-profits claiming 501(c)(3) status must include a current, valid IRS determination letter in the application package; otherwise the application is deemed non-responsive and will not be evaluated. The notice also makes clear that organizations under 501(c)(4) are not eligible for funding under this announcement. No cost sharing or matching is required.
Administrative details in the source listing include Funding Opportunity Number SGA 09-01 and CFDA number 17.805 (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project). The opportunity was posted April 3, 2009, with an application closing date of May 4, 2009, and it was later archived June 3, 2009. The agency contact listed for access issues or questions about the full announcement is Cassandra Mitchell, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-693-4570 and mitchell.cassandra@dol.gov.
