DOL-VETS Announces HVRP Grant Competition
The U.S. Department of Labor-Veterans' Employment and Training Service (DOL-VETS) has announced a grant competition for the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP). Both Urban and Non-Urban areas serving homeless veterans will be considered for funding under this HVRP solicitation. Urban areas are those that serve a high concentration of homeless veterans in the metropolitan areas of the 75 U.S. cities largest in population and the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and are listed in Appendix G. Non-Urban areas are those areas that serve homeless veterans that are not listed on Appendix G. Applicants must indicate whether they are applying for an Urban or Non-Urban grant award on their grant application.
The grant application package must be received by 5:00 p.m. EST, May 14, 2007.
HVRP grants are intended to address two objectives: (1) To provide services to assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into meaningful employment within the labor force, and (2) to stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that will address the complex problems facing homeless veterans…
Successful applicants will design programs that assist eligible veterans by providing job placement services, job training, counseling, supportive services, and other assistance to expedite the reintegration of homeless veterans into the labor force. Under this solicitation covering PY 2007, DOL-VETS anticipates that up to $8.2 million will be available, with a maximum award of $300,000 for grants that serve Urban areas and $200,000 for grants that serve Non-Urban areas. The number of grants to be awarded in each category will be announced after selections are made as the grants are awarded based on merit of the application and the applicants. This notice contains all of the necessary information and forms to apply for grant funding. The period of performance for these PY 2007 grants will be July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. Two (2) optional years of additional funding may be available, subject to the availability funding, to the agency's decision to exercise the option year(s) of funding, and to satisfactory grantee and sub-awardee(s) performance. Applicants are advised to read the grant notice carefully, and comply with all instructions. The full solicitation for grant applications (SGA) is published in the April 13, 2007, Federal Register.
