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 (VETS) as required by law and regulation. These discretionary grants fund over 160 homeless veterans’ reintegration projects that serve nearly 17,000 veterans experiencing homelessness, veterans at-risk of homelessness, and incarcerated veterans annually. The discretionary grant funds are also used to fund over 30 Stand Down events annually.
