Section 604 of the Veterans' Mental Health and Other Care

Improvements Act of 2008, Public Law 110-387 (codified at 38 U.S.C. § 2044),

authorized VA to develop the SSVF Program. Supportive services grants are awarded

to selected private non-profit organizations and consumer cooperatives that will assist

very low-income Veteran families residing in or transitioning to permanent housing.

Grantees will provide a range of supportive services to eligible Veteran families that are

designed to promote housing stability. SSVF provides case management and

supportive services to prevent the imminent loss of a Veteran's home or identify a new,

more suitable housing situation for the individual and his or her family; or to rapidly rehouse

Veterans and their families who are homeless and might remain homeless

without this assistance.

VA is announcing the availability of funds for grants under the SSVF Program. This

NOFO contains information concerning the SSVF Program, the renewal and new

applicant grant application processes, and the amount of funding available. Awards

made for grants will fund operations beginning October 1, 2026.
