Opportunity Summary:
The VA Grant/Per Diem, 2010 Per Diem Only (PDO) opportunity is a Department of Veterans Affairs funding notice inviting applications under the Per Diem Only component of the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program (CFDA 64.024). The purpose is to support community-based services that help address veteran homelessness through per diem payments, rather than capital or construction-style grant funding. The VA states that the notice outlines program details such as funding priorities, how to apply, and the funding that is available, and it points applicants to the governing program rule published in the Federal Register on September 26, 2003.
This was a discretionary grant opportunity in the housing and homelessness services space, with an expectation of roughly 45 awards. No cost sharing or matching was required, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible organizations to participate. Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities. In practical terms, the VA was looking for public entities and established nonprofit providers that can deliver qualifying services and meet VA program requirements tied to serving homeless veterans.
The application timeline and submission rules were strict. Applications had to be received by 4 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, and the VA made clear that late applications would be treated as ineligible, with no exceptions for delivery delays. Applicants were instructed to submit one original completed and collated application plus three completed collated copies. Fax submissions were not allowed. Even if an applicant used Grants.gov, the package still had to arrive as a complete submission by the deadline; items delivered separately would not be added later and could cause the application to be rejected or not funded. A cover letter was required, and it needed to clearly state which funding priority the applicant wanted to be considered under (the detailed priorities were referenced as part of the broader notice).
For submission, applications were directed to the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Field Office at 10770 N. 46th Street, Suite C-200, Tampa, FL 33617. The application package could be downloaded from the VA GPD program website (http://www.va.gov/homeless/) or from http://www.grants.gov/. For help and program questions, the notice listed Ms. Chelsea Watson at the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program, reachable via the toll-free number 1-877-332-0334.
Finally, the full Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was made available through the Federal Register, with the notice providing a link for applicants who wanted the complete official language and requirements: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-1297.htm. The funding opportunity was posted January 25, 2010, closed March 31, 2010, and was archived April 1, 2010 under Funding Opportunity Number VA GPD 2010 PDO.
