News Alert: VA Announces $93 Million Available for SSVF Program The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is offering a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for funding for the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program. The NOFA will make approximately $93 million available over a 3-year period for non-renewable grants to eligible entities proposing services for one of the 28 high-need Continuums of Care (CoCs) listed in the NOFA. The 28 locations were selected based on factors that include levels of Veteran homelessness and current unmet service needs. As part of the application, prospective grantees have the option to submit a letter of support from their local CoCs. As such, Continuums should be prepared to work with the grantees to complete this optional piece. Applications are due by 4 p.m. ET on December 5, 2014. Awards made for supportive services grants will fund operations beginning approximately March 1, 2015 through February 28, 2018. Application and training materials will be posted on http://www.va.gov/homeless/ssvf.asp today.
