VA’s Homeless Providers GPD National Program Office anticipates awarding new grants to community-based organizations to provide TIP supportive housing services to facilitate Veteran engagement in permanent housing. These grants support the President’s priority to reduce homelessness and increase the excellence of and options for care, benefits, and services for veterans, as demonstrated in Executive Order 14296 - Keeping Promises to Veterans and Establishing a National Center for Warrior Independence. Awards are expected to be for three years starting on or around October 1, 2026. The goals and objectives of this NOFO are described in the Program Description section. Ending Veteran homelessness requires multifaceted approaches. This NOFO is designed to be one such approach. This NOFO responds to the mounting need in communities to end homelessness in unique and targeted ways tailored to the needs of diverse populations of Veterans and to the unique skills and resources in different communities. This NOFO offers an innovative transitional housing model under which applicants identify or convert existing suitable, apartment-style housing where Veteran participants receive intensive, time-limited, supportive services optimally for a period of 6–12 months. The Veteran will receive supportive services until the Veteran is able to assume the lease. The Veteran transitions in place by assuming the lease or other long-term agreement which enables the unit in which he or she resides to be considered the Veteran’s permanent housing. Grants funded from this NOFO will increase housing stability for Veterans. Any eligible entity may apply for funding. Current GPD grantee organizations are eligible to apply; however, applicants are not required to be a current GPD grantee. For full details, see the Eligibility section. For program information and requirements, see 38 CFR Part 61. Approximately 40 grants for an approximate total of 600 Transition In Place (TIP) beds across three y
