Abstract: This request pertains the collection of performance data for the discretionary grants authorized under chapter 20 of title 38 of the United States Code. The collection of information is necessary for the proper oversight of discretionary grant funds administered by the Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service as required by law and regulation. These discretionary grant funds fund approximately 150 homeless veterans’ reintegration projects to serve roughly 17,000 homeless veterans and incarcerated veterans at-risk of homelessness annually. The discretionary grant funds are also used to fund approximately 66 Stand Down events annually.
