Opportunity Summary:
The VA Grant and Per Diem Program FY13 Rehabilitation Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs aimed at extending the useful life of facilities that already operate under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program. Instead of funding new construction or new program sites, this NOFA focuses specifically on capital rehabilitation of existing, currently operational GPD-funded locations. The underlying purpose is to help current providers address facility conditions that affect the safety, security, and privacy of homeless Veterans, recognizing that many long-running transitional housing sites need upgrades to remain appropriate and compliant for the populations they serve.
Funding under this NOFA is intended for current operational GPD grantees that want to rehabilitate the physical facility where their approved GPD project is being delivered. The VA’s expectation is that any awarded rehabilitation work will be completed within 18 months of receiving the award, so applicants need to be prepared to move from award to construction/rehab quickly, with realistic scopes of work, procurement plans, and project management capacity. The program is tied to the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (CFDA 64.024) and falls under the housing activity category, reflecting its direct connection to housing-based services for homeless Veterans.
The overall funding available is estimated at $22,000,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per award, and the VA anticipated making about 90 awards. The NOFA indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should plan to contribute non-federal resources toward the rehabilitation effort in accordance with the NOFA’s rules. Because the award amounts are capped and the awards are meant to be completed within a defined timeframe, the strongest applications are likely to be those that propose targeted, high-impact improvements that can be finished on schedule and that clearly resolve identified health, safety, security, or privacy problems.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of public and nonprofit entities that commonly operate transitional housing and supportive services: city or township governments, county governments, state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, beyond organizational eligibility, the key practical eligibility requirement is program-specific: funding is for assistance to rehabilitate facilities that are currently operational and were originally funded under the VA’s GPD Program, and applicants must align with any funding priorities described in the full NOFA.
The NOFA also lays out application submission rules designed to prevent duplicate requests for the same operational project and to simplify submissions when multiple projects or buildings are involved. Only one application may be awarded per operational project number. If an applicant has multiple grant projects located in the same facility, they submit one application and list all affected project numbers. If an applicant has multiple facilities under a single project number, they submit one application covering all affected facilities. The VA gives simple examples to clarify the intent: one project in one building equals one application; multiple projects in one building still equals one application; multiple buildings under one project number also equals one application. Applicants who are unsure how many applications they should submit are encouraged to contact the GPD Program Office for clarification before applying.
A major compliance point is that if an organization accepts a capital rehabilitation grant through this NOFA, the rehabilitated real property may become subject to federal real property disposition requirements under 38 CFR 49.32. In practical terms, this is a reminder that taking federal capital funds can attach long-term obligations and restrictions related to how the property can be used, transferred, or disposed of, and applicants should consider these implications carefully as part of their organizational and real estate planning.
The NOFA also clearly identifies who is not eligible. Previously awarded grant projects that have not exceeded the maximum years of operation listed in 38 CFR 61.67 are not eligible for this funding, and Per Diem Only (PDO) Transition in Place projects are not eligible either. These exclusions signal that this specific rehabilitation funding is targeted toward a subset of operational GPD providers and is not meant to cover every GPD-related model or every active award.
Key administrative details include the posting and timeline information: the NOFA was posted on May 16, 2013, with an application closing date of June 28, 2013, and it was archived on June 29, 2013. The funding opportunity number is VA GPD FY13 REHABILITATION NOFA, and the administering program is the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program. For applicants needing help accessing the announcement or navigating application questions, the listed contact is Chelsea Watson, Deputy Director, reachable by phone at 813-979-3570.
