Opportunity Summary:
The VA GPD TIP Renewal NOFA is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under the Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024). It specifically targets the Per Diem Only (PDO) component and is limited to existing Transition in Place (TIP) grantees that were originally funded in 2012 and are now seeking renewal. The broader purpose of the program is aligned with the VA's ongoing push to prevent and end homelessness among Veterans by supporting community-based providers that deliver transitional housing and related supportive services.
This renewal competition is structured around continuing per diem support for eligible TIP projects rather than initiating brand-new TIP providers. The VA indicated it expected to support about 500 beds over a three-year period through this NOFA, with an estimated total funding amount of about $25,000,000. The funding is intended to pay an approved per diem rate for each occupied bed night, helping grantees cover operational costs tied directly to housing Veterans. The maximum award (ceiling) is $1,200,000 per project, and VA notes that this level would generally support an average of about 25 beds per night per project when calculated at the then-current maximum per diem rate of $43.32. Because per diem rates can change, the VA also noted that the applicable maximum rate could increase in later years, which can affect how far the funds go operationally.
An important budgeting detail in the announcement is that the final award amount for a renewal may be adjusted depending on whether any funding remains from the grantee's prior award. In other words, the renewal funding may not necessarily be a simple, flat continuation at the maximum level; it can be reduced if a project has unspent prior funds that need to be accounted for, which is common in renewal structures designed to manage federal funds responsibly across multiple years.
The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching, making it more accessible for providers that may not have significant unrestricted funds to contribute. Eligible applicants included a range of governmental and nonprofit entities, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even with this broad eligibility list, the practical eligibility constraint is that applicants needed to be current TIP grantees seeking to renew their 2012 TIP PDO awards, so it functioned as a continuation and renewal pathway rather than an open solicitation for new entrants.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number was "VA GPD FY15 TIP NOFA," posted on January 16, 2015, with an application deadline of April 20, 2015 (and an archive date of April 21, 2015). The VA anticipated making about 25 awards. For additional program information, the announcement referenced the VA's Grant and Per Diem Program resources, and it provided a contact for access issues or questions: Chelsea Watson, Deputy Director, at 813-979-3570.
