VA GPD Transition In Place NOFO

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is announcing the availability of funds for grants to community-based organizations to provide Transition In Place (TIP) supportive housing services to facilitate Veteran engagement in permanent housing. The goal of this program is to provide transitional housing and supportive services to Veterans experiencing or at risk for homelessness as they move toward and retain permanent housing. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) nonprofit organizations, state or local government agencies, or federally recognized Indian Tribal governments. Key services to be provided include housing case management, employment assistance, and health care services. The program will support approximately 600 TIP beds nationwide and will provide funding for a period of three years. • The TIP housing model offers Veteran residents housing in which supportive services transition out of the residence over time, rather than the resident. • Applicants are expected to implement a low-barrier approach for engaging unsheltered Veterans in services. • It is expected that Veterans will transition in place in approximately 6 to 12 months. • The program will provide funding for operating costs, staffing, and other expenses related to the provision of TIP services.
