VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program

Public Law 109-461 provided permanent authority for VA’s Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program for homeless Veterans. Funds appropriated to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for this program are expected to be significantly less than the total amount requested by applicants. Information must be collected to determine which applicants are eligible, and to prioritize applications for determining who will be awarded funds. VA does not require applicants to use a VA Form to respond to the collection of information. Rather, VA requires applicants to respond to the collection of information as published in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in standard business format. VA provides the outline for the collection in the NOFO and uses the standard business format collections to evaluate applicants for all the grant programs authorized under the statutory authority for VA to make homeless grants. The categories of grants include per diem for non-capital grants, special needs grants, and case management grants. The program will not be awarding capital grants in the coming years. This factor, along with historical program data on the actual number of applications received, has resulted in a decrease in the anticipated number of annual grant applications and associated annual burden hours. There are no changes to the information being collected. Respondents may apply for grants using the Federal-wide Standard Forms from the SF-424 family of forms.

The latest form for VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program expires 2027-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202403-2900-019.
