Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem
The Homeless Providers Grants and Per Diem Program is offered annually (as funding permits) by the VA Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Programs. Program funds go towards the provision and maintenance of transitional housing facilities and service centers for veterans (the Grant Program), as well as for the operational costs for services provided to veterans while in transitional housing (the Per Diem Program).
Grant funds are awarded annually for up to 65% of the costs of construction, renovation, or acquisitions of a building to be used as a service center or transitional housing facility for veterans. Per Diem funds are used to offset the operational costs (including salaries) of providing transitional housing or social services for Veterans. While priority for the Per Diem Program is given to those who receive VA Grant Funding, nonprofit organizations can apply for Per Diem funding separately. Both of these programs enable veterans experiencing homelessness to take a first step to stability through transitional supports, eventually moving to permanent housing and a better quality of life.

Nonprofit community organizations providing transitional housing and services are eligible to receive this funding.
Eligible Beneficiaries:

Funding Mechanism:
Grant and Per Diem funding is awarded annually depending on funding availability on a competitive basis for eligible organizations.
