Opportunity Summary:
The VA Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program Special Need NOFA is a Department of Veterans Affairs discretionary grant opportunity focused on sustaining housing and supportive services for homeless Veterans with special needs. This particular notice is not a broad, open competition for new providers. Instead, it is a one-year renewal funding opportunity for a defined group: the 25 organizations that were already operating as FY 2013 VA GPD Special Need Grant recipients, along with their collaborative VA Special Need partners where applicable. The overall intent is continuity, meaning the VA wants these existing Special Need projects to keep serving the same targeted homeless Veteran populations and to maintain the service approach described in the applicants earlier Special Need submissions.
The NOFA emphasizes that renewal applicants are expected to continue delivering services to homeless Veterans in the Special Need category consistent with what was laid out in their FY 2009 Special Need application framework. In practical terms, the VA is signaling that this funding is meant to preserve and extend ongoing capacity rather than fund a new model or a major redesign. The opportunity sits under the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (CFDA 64.024) and is categorized under the Housing funding activity area, reflecting its primary purpose of supporting transitional housing and related assistance for Veterans experiencing homelessness who also have additional identified needs.
Funding is offered as a grant, with no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the notice. The estimated total funding available is $5,000,000 for FY 2014, and the VA anticipates making 25 awards, aligning with the number of currently operational FY 2013 Special Need grantees eligible for renewal. The timing of the competition is also clearly defined: the opportunity was posted on June 30, 2014, with an application closing date of July 16, 2014, and the archive date listed as July 17, 2014.
Eligible applicant types listed for the program include a range of public and nonprofit entities: nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Even though the eligibility categories are broad, this specific NOFA is expressly aimed at renewals for currently operational FY 2013 Special Need recipients, so the practical eligibility for this particular cycle is limited to those existing awardees and their established VA Special Need partners as applicable.
For applicants seeking full operational details, the NOFA indicates that complete information about program requirements, the application process, and the amount of funding available is provided through the Federal Register posting. The funding opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "VA GPD FY14 SN" and titled "VA Grant and Per Diem Program Special Need NOFA." The administering program office is the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program. Questions or issues accessing the full announcement electronically are directed to the listed contact, Chelsea Watson, Deputy Director, at 813-979-3570.
