BILLING CODE 4510–FN–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Veterans’ Employment and Training 

Service 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 through FY 2013 

Stand Down Grant Requests 

AGENCY: Veterans’ Employment and 

Training Service, U.S. Department of 

Labor. 

ACTION: Announcement of funds 

available under the Homeless Veterans’ 

Reintegration Program (HVRP) to 

support local Stand Down events in FY 

2011 and tentatively available to 

support events in FY 2012, and FY 

2013. 

Funding Opportunity No: 17–805. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor 

(USDOL), Veterans’ Employment and 

Training Service (VETS) supports local 

Stand Down events that assist homeless 

Veterans. A Stand Down is an event 

held in a local community where 

homeless Veterans are provided with a 

wide variety of social services. VETS is 

now accepting applications for grant 

awards to fund Stand Down events in 

FY 2011. Stand Down funding is a noncompetitive grant awarded on a firstcome, first-served basis until available 

funding is exhausted. 

Under this announcement, VETS 

anticipates that up to $600,000 will be 

available to award approximately 

seventy grants in each of the three fiscal 

years covered by this solicitation. The 

Federal fiscal year is the accounting 

period of the federal government. It 

begins on October 1st and ends on 

September 30th of the next calendar 

year. A maximum of $10,000 per multiday event or $7,000 for a one-day event 

can be awarded. Availability of Stand 

Down grant funding each fiscal year will 

be dependent upon Congressional 

appropriation. Stand Down grant 

funding is awarded for a specific event 

on a specific date. Organizations 

planning Stand Down events in 

subsequent fiscal years must submit a 

complete, new application for grant 

funding if desired, and should not 

assume the application will 

automatically be approved. 

Applications for Stand Down funds 

will be accepted from State Workforce 

Agencies, State and local Workforce 

Investment Boards, Veterans Service 

Organizations (VSOs), local public 

agencies, and non-profit organizations 

including community and faith-based 

organizations. The USDOL is not 

authorized to award grant funds to 

organizations that are registered with 

the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a 

501(c)(4) organization. 

All applications for Stand Down grant 

funding must be submitted to the 

appropriate State Director for Veterans’ 

Employment and Training (DVET) at 

least ninety (90) days prior to the event. 

Address and contact information for 

each State DVET can be found at: 

http://www.dol.gov/vets/aboutvets/ 

contacts/main.htm. Events approved for 

grant funding in any fiscal year must be 

held prior to December 31st of the 

following fiscal year. For example, all 

Stand Down events awarded funding for 

FY 2011 (October 1, 2010 through 

September 30, 2011) must be held on or 

before December 31, 2011. 

Stand Down grant awards are 

contingent upon a Federal appropriation 

or a continuing resolution each Federal 

fiscal year. Therefore, applications 

submitted after July 1st for events to be 

held after September 30th may be held 

for consideration for funding contingent 

upon Federal funding availability. Grant 

applicants should not obligate requested 

grant funding toward Stand Down 

expenses unless officially notified of a 

grant award. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Stand Down is a military term 

referring to an opportunity to achieve a 

brief respite from combat. Troops 

assemble in a base camp to receive new 

clothing, hot food, and a relative degree 

of safety before returning to the front. 

Today more than 160 organizations 

across the country partner with local 

businesses, government agencies, and 

community- and faith-based service 

providers to hold Stand Down events for 

homeless Veterans and their families in 

the local community. 

Each year, the Assistant Secretary for 

Veterans’ Employment and Training 

awards HVRP grants to expedite the 

reintegration of homeless Veterans into 

the labor force through programs that 

enhance employment and training 

opportunities and promote selfsufficiency. The critical services 

provided at a Stand Down may supply 

the catalyst a homeless Veteran needs to 

take steps to reintegrate into society by 

improving job readiness and 

opportunities for employment. 

Typically, services available at these 

events include temporary shelter, 

showers, haircuts, meals, clothing, 

hygiene care kits, medical examinations, 

immunizations, legal advice, State 

identification cards, veteran benefit 

information, training program 

information, employment services, and 

referral to other supportive services. 

Stand Down funding is a noncompetitive grant awarded on a firstcome, first-served basis until available 

funding is exhausted. For the purpose of 

a Stand Down grant award, applicants 

must describe a plan that clearly 


jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2011 / Notices 13237 

demonstrates that grant funding will be 

used to purchase or rent goods and 

services for homeless Veterans only. 

While both Veteran and non-veteran 

participants may attend Stand Down 

events, grant funding can only be used 

to purchase goods and services, to 

include food and meals, for the Veterans 

that participate. The following 

minimum services should be provided 

to those participants: 

• Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

medical and mental health services; 

• Department of Labor—State 

Workforce Agency employment and 

training services to include Disabled 

Veterans’ Outreach Program (DVOP) 

specialist and Local Veterans’ 

Employment Representative (LVER) 

participation where available; 

• An assortment of hot and/or cold 

foods; 

• An assortment of clothing 

appropriate for the local climate; and 

• Referral services to secure 

emergency housing on-the-spot. 

II. Allowable Costs 

Stand Down grant funds must be used 

to enhance employment and training 

opportunities or to promote the selfsufficiency of homeless Veterans 

through paid work. The homeless do not 

always have access to basic hygiene 

supplies necessary to maintain their 

health and confidence. Lack of shelter 

limits their ability to prepare for and 

present themselves at job interviews or 

be contacted for follow-up. Basic 

services such as showers, haircuts, 

attention to health concerns and other 

collaborative services provided at Stand 

Down can give the homeless 

participants a greater sense of self, 

improving their chances of securing and 

maintaining employment. Therefore, 

grant funds may be used to support 

Stand Down activities such as: 

• The purchase of food, bottled water, 

clothing, sleeping bags, one-person 

tents, backpacks filled with nonperishable foods, hygiene care kits, and 

non-prescription reading glasses for 

Veteran participants; 

• The purchase of gift cards for food, 

minor time-limited legal services, 

consumer credit services, and gasoline 

gift cards for Veteran participants; 

• The purchase of job search media 

such as employment guides or literature 

in hard copy or on portable storage 

media, etc); 

• Special one-time costs for the 

duration of the Stand Down event such 

as rental of facilities and/or tents, 

electricity, equipment, portable toilets 

and communications or internet access; 

• The purchase of janitorial supplies, 

kitchen supplies, and advertising 

materials such as event posters; 

• The hiring of security personnel; 

• The rental of transportation 

equipment (bus, van, car, taxi, etc.) and/ 

or purchase of gasoline to provide 

transportation of homeless Veterans to 

and from the Stand Down event; and 

• The purchase or rental of other 

pertinent items and services for 

homeless Veteran participants and their 

families as deemed appropriate by 

VETS. 

III. Funding Restrictions 

Stand Down grant funds may not be 

used to pay for administrative costs and 

administrative and/or programmatic 

staff. Stand Down grant funds may not 

be used to purchase t-shirts, hats, or 

other clothing items for volunteers, pen 

sets, military and veteran type patches/ 

medals, memento gifts for staff 

members, visitors, or volunteers, or any 

other supplementary/replacement 

item(s) that has not been approved by 

the DVET. Applicants must provide 

details for every planned expenditure in 

the budget narrative. Any planned 

expenses listed only as ‘‘other’’ or 

‘‘miscellaneous’’ must be clarified prior 

to processing the grant application. 

Stand Down grant funding cannot be 

used to pay for health care related 

expenses. All medical examinations, to 

include dental and optometry 

examinations, should be provided by 

the VA or other community provider. 

Purchase of prescription eye wear and 

dental work is considered a medical 

care expense and is not allowable. Nonprescription reading glasses are 

considered an allowable expense. 

Applicants should explore all 

opportunities to secure health related 

services through the local VA Medical 

Center or VA Outpatient Clinic. 

VETS reserves the right to disapprove 

any proposed cost not consistent with 

the funding restrictions in this 

announcement. 

IV. Award Information 

The maximum amount that can be 

awarded to support a local Stand Down 

event is $10,000 per applicant per fiscal 

year. If the event is held for one (1) day, 

the maximum amount that can be 

awarded is $7,000. An applicant is 

normally allowed one grant award per 

fiscal year. 

V. Eligibility Information 

1. Eligible Applicants 

The following organizations may 

apply for grants under this solicitation: 

State and local Workforce Boards, VSOs,

Service as a 501(c)(4) organizations are 

not eligible to apply for this funding 

opportunity. 

2. Cost Sharing or Matching 

Cost sharing and matching funds are 

not required. However, VETS strongly 

encourages applicants to leverage other 

available resources to maximize the 

goods and services provided to 

homeless Veteran participants at Stand 

Down events.

VII. Award Administration Information 

Stand Down funding is a noncompetitive grant awarded on a firstcome, first-served basis until available 

funding is exhausted. Funding is subject 

to approval by the Grant Officer, 

depending on such factors as urban, 

rural and geographic balance, the 

availability of funds, prior performance 

and which proposals are most 

advantageous to the Government. If 

approved, the Grant Officer will notify 

the grantee through a grant award letter. 

The grantee will also receive a 

financial form to complete in order for 

the USDOL Office of Financial 

Management Operations to set-up an 

account in the Health and Human 

Services, Payment Management System 

(HHS/PMS). The grantee must submit 

the completed form as directed in order 

to be able to electronically draw down 

awarded funding. The form should be 

returned via FedEx, UPS, or other nonU.S. Postal Service provider to avoid 

processing delays. Questions or 

problems relating to the funding 

paperwork or processes should be 

referred to the USDOL Office of 

Financial Management Operations at 

(202) 693–4479. 

After setting up the account, the 

grantee will be able to draw down funds 

to reimburse approved expenses already 

incurred and to cover approved 

expenses that will be paid within three 

(3) days of the draw down. Funds 

requested for draw down through the 

HHS/PMS are directly deposited into 

the designated account within 24 hours 

of the request. Since grantees may draw 

funds down in more than one quarter, 

up to and after the date of the Stand 

Down event, grantees are required to 

complete a Federal Financial Report (SF 

425) no later than forty-five (45) days 

after the end of each quarter in which 

all or part of their grant award was 

received (February 14th, May 15th, 

August 14th, and November 14th). 

Instructions for completing this 

requirement are provided in the HHS/ 

PMS information packet. Grantees must 

print hard copies of all SF 425s 

submitted to HHS/PMS and include 

them with the post-event report 

submitted to the appropriate DVET/ 

GOTR (as described in VIII. below). 

VIII. Required Post-Event Activities and 

Reporting 

All Stand Down awarded funds 

should be drawn down by the grantee 

within 90 calendar days of the Stand 

Down event. Otherwise, the Department 

of Labor may reallocate these funds for 

other purposes if practicable. All Stand 

Down funds awarded for any fiscal year 

must be electronically drawn down by 

no later than November 30th of the 

following fiscal year. In other words, if 

a Stand Down is held on July 12, 2011 

(FY 2011), all funds should be drawn 

down within 90 days or by October 10, 

2011. They must be drawn down before 

November 30, 2011 (FY 2012). 

No later than thirty (30) calendar days 

after the end of the Federal fiscal quarter 

in which the Stand Down is held, 

grantees must report actual event 

activities and expenditures to the 

appropriate DVET and to the USDOL 

Office of Procurement Services. For 

example, if a Stand Down is held on 

July 27th, it is held in the Federal fiscal 

quarter that ends on September 30th. 

Therefore the post-event report is due to 

the DVET no later than October 30th. 

The required content of the report will 

be provided to grantees with the Special 

Grant Provisions made available with 

the grant award letter. 

Grantees that anticipate experiencing 

any delay in submitting this report 

should immediately contact the 

appropriate DVET and provide a 

justification to request an extension. If 

VETS disapproves a particular 

expenditure, the grantee will be notified 

in writing with an explanation for the 

disapproval and instructions to 

electronically return the funds to the 

HHS/PMS account within 15 calendar 

days if already drawn down. 

Any failure to comply with the 

guidance and reporting requirements set 

forth in the Stand Down Special Grant 

Provisions provided with the Grant 

Award letter may be taken into 

consideration in future funding award 

decisions by the U.S. Department of 

Labor, Veterans’ Employment and 

Training Service.
