The U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) outlines application requirements for the Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP) in this OMB Control form (1293-0014). The document includes a structured process for applicants to disclose their past grant or cooperative agreement award history, specifically focusing on HVRP and other awards. Organizations must categorize their award history, selecting options ranging from no past grant history to having received multiple HVRP grants.
Further sections require details on HVRP awards, including grant numbers and periods of performance. Applicants with award histories from other entities are also prompted to indicate their experience and past performance indicators, such as grant terminations and high-risk designations.
Points for past performance are scored based on these disclosures and specific criteria set by the DOL, impacting the funding decision. The overall goal is to assess the eligibility and reliability of applicants seeking to assist homeless veterans through the HVRP, ensuring they meet necessary qualifications while providing a clear framework for evaluation and scoring. The document serves as a vital tool in managing federal grant applications focused on veteran services.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans’ Employment and Training Service announces the availability of approximately $17 million in grant funding through the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP) for Fiscal Year 2025, aimed at helping homeless veterans and those at risk of homelessness achieve employment. The HVRP comprises three programs: the standard HVRP, the Incarcerated Veterans’ Transition Program (IVTP), and the Homeless Women Veterans and Veterans with Children program (HWVHVWC). Applications are open until March 17, 2025, and interested parties should utilize Grants.gov for submission.
Eligible applicants include various levels of government, educational institutions, native tribal organizations, non-profits, and for-profit entities, emphasizing the need for a physical presence in the target community. Grants can range from $150,000 to $500,000 annually over a potential three-year performance period, with selected awardees tasked to deliver tailored services, case management, and job training to veterans. The document outlines application components, eligibility criteria, funding restrictions, and a stringent review process to ensure that grant recipients address community-specific needs effectively, employing a collaborative and inclusive approach to service delivery.
