These grants support local Stand Down events that assist veterans experiencing homelessness by providing a wide range of employment, social, and health services. Stand Down is a military term referring to an opportunity for troops to achieve a brief respite from combat. Similarly, a DOL VETS-funded Stand Down event serves as a respite for veterans experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. These events provide critical services that often enable individuals to reenter the workforce. The grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and support one-day or multi-day events with funding up to $7,000 or $10,000, respectively. Stand Down events are collaborative efforts between VA, DOL, other federal, state, and local government agencies, and community-based organizations. Eligible applicants include various government entities, non-profit and for-profit organizations, workforce boards, educational institutions, housing authorities, and faith-based organizations. In the event of a federal disaster declaration, VETS may accept applications up to $50,000 for Stand Down events in impacted areas.
