Opportunity Summary:
The VA Grant/Per Diem, 2010 Capital Grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number VA GPD 2010 CG) was a discretionary federal grant competition run through the Department of Veterans Affairs Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program. The purpose of this particular notice was narrow and very specific: it offered capital funds to help create new housing capacity for homeless Veterans through acquisition, renovation, or new construction. In other words, it was aimed at organizations that needed money to build, buy, or rehabilitate a facility or housing project that would serve homeless Veterans. Agencies looking only for operating support were told not to apply under this notice, because Per Diem Only (PDO) funding was not available here; operations-only applicants were directed to a separate GPD PDO funding notice instead.
The VA expected to make around 40 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $24,000,000. The funding activity category was Housing, and the program is associated with CFDA number 64.024 (VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program). Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants needed to bring some non-VA resources to the table rather than relying entirely on federal dollars. The notice also referenced the governing program framework in the Final Rule published in the Federal Register on September 26, 2003, which is the underlying regulation for how the GPD program is administered.
Eligible applicants were a mix of nonprofit and public-sector entities that could realistically own, develop, or operate supportive housing projects. This included 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), state governments, city or township governments, county governments, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The overall intent was to expand the supply of appropriate housing tied to services for homeless Veterans, consistent with VA homeless program goals.
The application process was deadline-driven and strict. A complete, collated original application plus three complete, collated copies had to be received by the VA Grant and Per Diem Field Office no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 31, 2010. Fax submissions were not allowed. VA emphasized that late applications would be deemed ineligible, and applicants were cautioned to submit early to avoid delivery delays or technical issues, including problems related to Grants.gov. Even if submitted through Grants.gov, the application still had to arrive as a complete package by the deadline, and VA warned that materials arriving separately would not be added later and could lead to rejection or non-funding. Applicants also needed to include a cover letter clearly stating which funding priority they wanted to be considered under (the specific priorities were described in the full NOFA).
Applicants could obtain the application package from the VA Homeless programs website (va.gov/homeless) or from Grants.gov. Completed applications were directed to the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Field Office at 10770 North 46th Street, Suite C200, Tampa, FL 33617. For questions or assistance, the notice listed Chelsea Watson at the same Tampa address and provided a toll-free number: 1-877-332-0334. The full Notice of Funding Availability was posted in the Federal Register and could be accessed through the link provided in the announcement (edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-1296.htm).
