D. Administrative and National
Policy: It is important to be aware that
VA places great emphasis on
responsibility and accountability. VA
has procedures in place to monitor
services provided to homeless Veterans
and outcomes associated with the
services provided in grant and per diemfunded programs. Applicants should be
aware of the following:
(1) Awardees will be required to
support their request for payments with
adequate fiscal documentation as to
income and expenses.
(2) All awardees that are selected in
response to this NOFA must meet the
requirements of the current edition of
the Life Safety Code of the National Fire
Protection Association as it relates to
their specific facility. Applicants should
note that all facilities are to be protected
throughout by an approved automatic
sprinkler system unless a facility is
specifically exempted under the Life
Safety Code. Applicants should
consider this when submitting their
grant applications, as no additional
funds will be made available for capital
improvements under this NOFA.
(3) Each program receiving Special
Need funding will have a liaison
appointed from a nearby VA medical
facility to provide oversight and monitor
services provided to homeless Veterans
in the program.
(4) Monitoring will include at a
minimum, a quarterly review of each
GPD grantee’s progress toward meeting
performance goals, including the
applicant’s internal goals and objectives
in helping Veterans attain housing
stability, adequate income support, and
self-sufficiency as identified in each
GPD grantee’s original application.
Monitoring will also include a review of
the agency’s income and expenses as
they relate to this project to ensure
payment is accurate.
Each funded program will participate
in the VA’s national program
monitoring and evaluation as these
monitoring procedures will be used to
determine successful accomplishment
of these housing outcomes for each
GPD-funded program.
Applicants with questions regarding
the funding from previous Special Need
awards should contact the VA Homeless
Providers GPD Program Office prior to
application.

governing the GPD Program is available

necessary to facilitate claims processing
by providing a consistent format for the
certification statement.
