Opportunity Summary:
The Urban and Non Urban Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) grant opportunity (SGA 10-03, CFDA 17.805) is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Labor, Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), under the authority of 38 U.S.C. Section 2021. The overall purpose is to speed up homeless Veterans reintegrating into the workforce by funding organizations that can deliver employment-focused services such as job training, counseling, job readiness support (including literacy and skills training), and job placement assistance. For Program Year (PY) 2010, this solicitation places particular emphasis on programs that effectively serve homeless female Veterans and homeless Veterans with families, recognizing that these groups often face additional barriers to stable employment and long-term retention.
A key feature of this competition is that applicants must apply under one of two geographic categories: Urban or Non Urban. Urban areas are defined as places 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. To qualify as an Urban applicant, the proposed service area must be documented (with written documentation and maps when available) as having a population of at least 569,463, which is the smallest population among those top cities based on the 2000 Census. Non Urban areas are all other areas not listed in Appendix G, and applicants must similarly document that the proposed service area population is under 569,463. Each applicant has to clearly indicate in the application whether they are seeking an Urban or Non Urban award and provide the required population evidence.
The program’s goals are framed around two main objectives. First, HVRP aims to directly help homeless Veterans move into meaningful employment by providing a mix of employment and supportive services tailored to individual needs. Second, it aims to strengthen local service delivery systems, encouraging better coordination among organizations to address the layered, real-world challenges that often accompany homelessness, such as limited work history, gaps in education, health and behavioral health needs, transportation issues, childcare needs for Veterans with families, and the broader instability that makes job retention difficult. VETS signals that strong proposals will use a client-centered case management approach and will actively connect participants to a network of federal, state, and local resources that support Veterans, rather than operating in isolation.
From a program design standpoint, funded projects are expected to combine core workforce services (job placement, job training, counseling, mentoring, and job readiness preparation) with supportive services and practical assistance that remove barriers to employment. The solicitation stresses flexibility, meaning programs should be able to address both universal challenges faced by homeless Veterans and the specific regional or local factors that may be preventing successful reemployment. For PY 2010 in particular, VETS is looking for applicants that can describe clear, realistic strategies and measurable goals tied to employment outcomes and employment retention for homeless female Veterans and Veterans with families, not just initial placement.
Funding is split between the Urban and Non Urban categories. VETS anticipated up to $3 million available for Urban grants and up to $3 million for Non Urban grants, with expected award sizes generally ranging from $75,000 up to $300,000 for Urban projects and from $75,000 up to $200,000 for Non Urban projects. The award ceiling is $300,000 overall (for Urban), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. While the notice anticipated awarding grants in both categories, the final number of awards in each category would depend on the merit of applications and the mix of applicants selected.
The performance timeline is clearly defined. The primary (active) period of performance for PY 2010 awards runs from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. After that, grantees must provide and report follow-up services over a nine-month follow-up period from July 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012. Follow-up is required at 90, 180, and 270 days after a participant enters employment, aligning with Common Measures reporting expectations and reinforcing that retention and stability matter, not only initial hiring. The solicitation also notes the possibility of up to two optional additional years of funding, but only if funds are available, the agency chooses to exercise the option year(s), and the grantee (and any sub-awardees) demonstrate satisfactory performance.
Eligibility is broad, but specific. Applications are accepted from State and Local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) established under WIA, local public agencies (such as city or county entities with taxing and spending authority and general corporate/police powers), for-profit/commercial entities, and nonprofit organizations including community-based organizations. Applicants must show familiarity with the service area and target population and must be capable of running an effective and timely program. Nonprofits claiming 501(c)(3) status must include a current, valid IRS determination letter in the application package or the application is deemed non-responsive and will not be evaluated. The notice also explicitly states that 501(c)(4) organizations are not eligible under this announcement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted April 27, 2010, with a closing date that moved from May 26 to May 27, 2010, and an estimated total funding amount listed as $5,000,000 in the source data fields. Applicants are instructed to monitor Grants.gov and the VETS website for any addenda or updates. A designated grants management specialist contact was provided for access issues and questions related to the full announcement.
