April 5 (New Applicants) and April 6 (Returning Applicants and Current Grantees)

On March 29, 2012, the U.S. Department of Labor announced the availability of $15 million in grants through the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP). HVRP is the only federal program that focuses exclusively on the employment of veterans who are homeless. Funds will be awarded on a competitive basis to state and local workforce investment boards; local public agencies; and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based and community organizations. HVRP applications are due April 30, 2012.

The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (NCHV) will hold two separate teleconferences for new applicants (April 5) and returning applicants and existing grantees (April 6) to provide information on the Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA) and HVRP.
