Opportunity Summary:
The Urban and Non Urban Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) 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 overall purpose is to speed up the reintegration of homeless Veterans into the labor force by funding organizations that can deliver employment-focused services such as job training, counseling, job readiness activities (including literacy and skills training), and direct job placement assistance. This solicitation notes that it includes significant changes from prior HVRP solicitations, and it places the burden on applicants to closely follow any updated requirements published in the notice or future addenda posted on Grants.gov and the VETS website.
The program is structured around two geographic funding categories, and applicants must clearly choose and identify one category in their application: Urban or Non Urban. Across both categories, HVRP has two core objectives: first, helping homeless Veterans obtain meaningful employment; and second, strengthening local service delivery systems that can respond to the layered, real-world barriers that often accompany Veteran homelessness. VETS does not require applicants to use a single prescribed program model, but it does expect proposals to cover the operational, administrative, and financial requirements described in the solicitation and to show an ability to address both common challenges (like employability gaps, lack of stable housing, transportation, legal issues, health and behavioral health needs) and the specific local or regional drivers of homelessness that affect employment outcomes.
Funding for this solicitation totals an estimated 5,000,000, split evenly in planning terms with up to 2,500,000 anticipated for Urban grants and up to 2,500,000 anticipated for Non Urban grants. Award sizes differ by category. Urban grants range from 100,000 to 300,000, while Non Urban grants range from 100,000 to 200,000. VETS expected to make awards in both categories, with an anticipated total of about 16 awards, but the final number in each category depends on application merit and the amounts proposed by the strongest applications. The Grant Officer also retains the right to negotiate final funding levels and even the geographic service areas proposed under the selected category.
The anticipated base period of performance is one year, running from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. On top of that, grantees must provide follow-up and retention services for an additional nine months, from July 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013, and report on those retention efforts for up to three quarters. The solicitation also leaves open the possibility of up to three additional years of funding beyond the initial period, but only if the Department decides to exercise those options based on grantee performance and the availability of appropriations.
HVRP is positioned as part of a broader federal strategy to end Veteran homelessness. VETS explicitly ties the work to the VA Five Year Plan to End Homelessness and the National Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness endorsed by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. Applicants are strongly encouraged to coordinate with local planning and homelessness-response infrastructure, specifically by actively participating in HUD Continuum of Care committees and contributing to local Ten Year Plans to End Homelessness within their proposed service areas. In practice, this means competitive proposals are expected to demonstrate strong partnerships, clear referral pathways, and tight integration with the local workforce system, including linkages with One Stop Career Centers.
Eligible applicants include State and local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs), local public agencies (such as cities or counties with taxing and spending authority), for-profit/commercial entities, and nonprofit organizations including community-based organizations. Applicants must show familiarity with the population and geography they propose to serve and demonstrate the capacity to run an effective program on time. The solicitation encourages partnerships or subawards with experienced organizations (public agencies, nonprofits, private businesses, community-based groups, colleges and universities, including minority-serving institutions) that understand the barriers homeless Veterans face and can provide or connect participants to supportive services. A key restriction is that entities organized under IRS Section 501(c)(4) are not eligible. Nonprofits claiming 501(c)(3) status must submit a current, valid IRS determination letter with the application; otherwise the application is considered non-responsive and will not be evaluated.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted June 9, 2011 under Funding Opportunity Number SGA 11-01, CFDA 17.805 (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The application deadline was July 8, 2011 (with the same date listed as the original and current closing date), and the opportunity was archived August 7, 2011. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Employment, Labor, and Training. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Cassandra Mitchell, Grants Management Specialist, at 202-693-4570 and mitchell.cassandra@dol.gov.
