SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

Notice announces the availability of 

funds for supportive services grants 

under the SSVF Program and pertains to 

proposals for new supportive services 

grant programs. Please refer to the Final 

Rule, published in the Federal Register 

(75 FR 68975) on November 10, 2010, 

which is codified in 38 CFR Part 62, for 

detailed SSVF Program information and 

requirements. 

A. Purpose: The SSVF Program’s 

purpose is to provide supportive 

services grants to private non-profit 

organizations and consumer 

cooperatives who will coordinate or 

provide supportive services to very lowincome veteran families who: (i) Are 

residing in permanent housing, (ii) are 

homeless and scheduled to become 

residents of permanent housing within 

a specified time period, or (iii) after 

exiting permanent housing within a 

specified time period, are seeking other 

housing that is responsive to such very 

low-income veteran family’s needs and 

preferences. 

B. Definitions: Sections 62.2 and 

62.11(a) of the Final Rule contain 

definitions of terms used in the SSVF 

Program. Definitions of key terms are 

also provided below for reference; 

however, the Final Rule should be 

consulted for all definitions. 

Consumer cooperative has the 

meaning given such term in section 202 

of the Housing Act of 1959 (12 U.S.C. 

1701q). 

Eligible entity means a: (1) Private 

non-profit organization, or (2) consumer 

cooperative.

in § 62.11(a) of the Final Rule. Note: In 

accordance with § 62.11(a) of the Final 

Rule, a very low-income veteran family 

will be considered to be occupying 

permanent housing if the very lowincome veteran family: (1) Is residing in 

permanent housing; (2) is homeless and 

scheduled to become a resident of 

permanent housing within 90 days 

pending the location or development of 

housing suitable for permanent housing; 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
79088 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2010 / Notices 

or (3) has exited permanent housing 

within the previous 90 days to seek 

other housing that is responsive to the 

very low-income veteran family’s needs 

and preferences. For limitations on and 

continuations of the provision of 

supportive services to participants 

classified under categories (2) and (3), 

see § 62.35 of the Final Rule. 

Participant means a very low-income 

veteran family occupying permanent 

housing who is receiving supportive 

services from a grantee. 

Permanent housing means 

community-based housing without a 

designated length of stay. Examples of 

permanent housing include, but are not 

limited to, a house or apartment with a 

month-to-month or annual lease term or 

home ownership. 

Private non-profit organization means 

any of the following: 

(1) An incorporated private institution 

or foundation that: (i) Has no part of the 

net earnings that inure to the benefit of 

any member, founder, contributor, or 

individual; (ii) has a governing board 

that is responsible for the operation of 

the supportive services provided under 

this part; and (iii) is approved by VA as 

to financial responsibility.

Native American Housing Assistance 

and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 

U.S.C. 4103)).

following provided to address the needs 

of a participant: 

(1) Outreach services as specified 

under § 62.30 of the Final Rule; 

(2) Case management services as

and coordinating other public benefits 

as specified under § 62.33 of the Final 

Rule; and 

(5) Other services as specified under

Very low-income veteran family 

means a veteran family whose annual 

income, as determined in accordance 

with 24 CFR 5.609, does not exceed 50 

percent of the median income for an 

area or community. The median income 

for an area or community will be 

determined using the income limits 

most recently published by the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (HUD) for programs under 

section 8 of the United States Housing 

Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f) (http:// 

www.huduser.org). 

Veteran means a person who served 

in the active military, naval, or air 

service, and who was discharged or 

released therefrom under conditions 

other than dishonorable. 

Veteran family means a veteran who 

is a single person or a family in which 

the head of household, or the spouse of 

the head of household, is a veteran. 

C. Approach: Grantees will be 

expected to leverage supportive services 

grant funds to enhance the housing 

stability of very low-income veteran 

families who are occupying permanent 

housing. In doing so, grantees are 

encouraged to establish relationships 

with the local community’s Continuum 

of Care. (HUD defines a Continuum of 

Care as, ‘‘a community plan to organize 

and deliver housing and services to 

meet the specific needs of people who 

are homeless as they move to stable 

housing and maximize self-sufficiency. 

It includes action steps to end 

homelessness and prevent a return to 

homelessness.’’) The aim of the 

provision of supportive services is to 

rapidly transition to stable housing (i) 

very low-income veteran families who 

are homeless and scheduled to become 

residents of permanent housing within 

90 days, including those leaving VA’s 

Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem 

projects, (ii) very low-income veteran 

families who have exited permanent 

housing within the previous 90 days to 

seek other housing that is responsive to 

their needs and preferences, and (iii) to 

assist very low-income veteran families 

residing in permanent housing to 

remain stably housed. Accordingly, VA 

encourages eligible entities skilled in 

facilitating housing stability and 

currently operating rapid re-housing 

programs (i.e., administering HUD’s 

Homelessness Prevention and Rapid ReHousing Program (HPRP) funds or other 

comparable Federal or community 

resources) to apply for supportive 

services grants. The SSVF Program is 

not intended to provide long-term 

support for participants, nor will it be 

able to address all of the financial and 

supportive services needs of 

participants that affect housing stability. 

Rather, when participants require longterm support, grantees should focus on 

connecting such participants to 

mainstream Federal and community 

resources (e.g., HUD–VA Supported 

Housing (VASH) program, HUD 

Housing Choice Voucher programs, 

McKinney-Vento funded supportive 

housing programs, Temporary 

Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), 

etc.) that can provide ongoing support 

as required. 

D. Authority: Funding applied for 

under this Notice is authorized by the 

Veterans’ Mental Health and Other Care 

Improvements Act of 2008, Public Law 

110–387, codified at 38 U.S.C. 2044. 

The SSVF Program is implemented by 

the Final Rule codified at 38 CFR part 

62. The regulations can be found in 38 

CFR 62.1 through 62.81. Funds made 

available under this Notice are subject 

to the requirements of the 

aforementioned regulations and other 

applicable laws and regulations. 

E. Allocation: Approximately $50 

million is available for supportive 

services grants to be funded under this 

Notice for a 1-year period. The 

maximum allowable grant size is 

$1,000,000.00 per year per grantee. 

F. Supportive Services Grant Award 

Period: Supportive services grants 

awarded under this Notice will be for a 

1-year period. In accordance with 

§ 62.20(b) of the Final Rule, subject to 

the availability of VA funds, VA may 

issue a future Notice of Fund 

Availability which would permit 

grantees to apply for the renewal of a 

supportive services grant in accordance 

with the terms and conditions of such 

Notice of Fund Availability. 

G. Requirements for the Use of 

Supportive Services Grant Funds: The 

grantee’s request for funding must be 

consistent with the limitations and uses 

of supportive services grant funds set 

forth in the Final Rule and this Notice. 

In accordance with the Final Rule and 

this Notice, the following requirements 

apply to supportive services grants 

awarded under this Notice: 

1. Grantees may use a maximum of 10 

percent of supportive services grant 

funds for administrative costs identified 

in § 62.70 of the Final Rule. 

2. Grantees must use between 60 and 

75 percent of supportive services grant 

funds to provide supportive services to 

very low-income veteran families who 

either (i) are homeless and scheduled to 

become residents of permanent housing 

within 90 days pending the location or 

development of housing suitable for 

permanent housing, as described in 

§ 62.11(a)(2) of the Final Rule, or (ii) 

have exited permanent housing within 

the previous 90 days to seek other 

housing that is responsive to their needs 

and preferences, as described in 

§ 62.11(a)(3) of the Final Rule. 

3. Grantees must use between 20 and 

35 percent of supportive services grant 

funds to provide supportive services to 

very low-income veteran families who 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2010 / Notices 79089 

are residing in permanent housing, as 

described in § 62.11(a)(1) of the Final 

Rule. VA encourages grantees to target 

prevention assistance to those very lowincome veteran families at the greatest 

risk of becoming homeless. 

4. For supportive services grants 

awarded under this Notice, in 

conjunction with the requirements 

noted above, the grantee may utilize a 

maximum of 30 percent of supportive 

services grant funds to provide the 

supportive service of temporary 

financial assistance paid directly to a 

third party on behalf of a participant for 

child care, transportation, rental 

assistance, utility-fee payment 

assistance, security deposits, utility 

deposits, moving costs, and emergency 

supplies in accordance with §§ 62.33 

and 62.34 of the Final Rule. 

H. Guidance for the Use of Supportive 

Services Grant Funds: Grantees are 

encouraged to consider the following 

guidance for the use of supportive 

services grant funds: 

1. When serving participants who (i) 

are homeless and scheduled to become 

residents of permanent housing or (ii) 

have exited permanent housing in order 

to seek other housing that is responsive 

to their needs and preferences, in 

addition to the required supportive 

services, grantees may focus on 

providing the following supportive 

services: Housing counseling; assisting 

participants in understanding leases; 

securing utilities; making moving 

arrangements; representative payee 

services concerning rent and utilities; 

and mediation and outreach to property 

owners related to locating or retaining 

housing. Grantees may also assist 

participants by providing rental 

assistance, security or utility deposits, 

moving costs or emergency supplies, 

using other Federal resources, such as 

the HPRP Program, or supportive 

services grant funds subject to the 

limitations described in this Notice and 

§ 62.34 of the Final Rule. 

2. When serving participants who are 

residing in permanent housing, it is 

helpful to remember that the defining 

question to ask is: ‘‘Would this 

individual or family be homeless but for 

this assistance?’’ To aid grantees in 

targeting SSVF Program funds toward 

very low-income veteran families most 

at risk of becoming homeless, a number 

of potential ‘‘risk factors’’ are listed 

below that could indicate a higher risk 

of becoming homeless. This list contains 

examples of some commonly identified 

risk factors for homelessness from 

scholarly research and practical 

experience drawn from existing 

homelessness prevention programs. One 

way a grantee could use these factors 

would be to require that a participant 

demonstrate some combination of the 

risk factors to qualify for assistance. 

Grantees should note that this list is 

optional and not exhaustive. Grantees 

may consider other risk factors or other 

ways to target persons at risk of 

homelessness based on past experience 

and available resources. A formalized 

screening tool should be developed to 

assess a very low-income veteran 

family’s risk of homelessness and to 

prioritize the provision of supportive 

services to those very low-income 

veteran families most in need. The risk 

factors for homelessness for 

consideration by grantees in developing 

their programs are as follows: 

a. Eviction within two weeks from a 

private dwelling (including housing 

provided by family or friends); 

b. Discharge within two weeks from 

an institution in which the person has 

been a resident for more than 180 days 

(including prisons, mental health 

institutions, hospitals); 

c. Residency in housing that has been 

condemned by housing officials and is 

no longer meant for human habitation; 

d. Sudden and significant loss of 

income; 

e. Sudden and significant increase in 

utility costs; 

f. Mental health and substance use 

issues; 

g. Physical disabilities and other 

chronic health issues, including HIV/ 

AIDS; 

h. Severe housing cost burden (greater 

than 50 percent of income for housing 

costs); 

i. Homeless in last 12 months; 

j. Young head of household (under 25 

with children or pregnant); 

k. Current or past involvement with 

child welfare, including foster care; 

l. Pending foreclosure of rental 

housing; 

m. Extremely low income (less than 

30 percent of area median income); 

n. High overcrowding (the number of 

persons in household exceeds health 

and/or safety standards for the housing 

unit size); 

o. Past institutional care (prison, 

treatment facility, hospital); 

p. Recent traumatic life event, such as 

death of a spouse or primary care 

provider, or recent health crisis that 

prevented the household from meeting 

its financial responsibilities; 

q. Credit problems that preclude 

obtaining of housing; or 

r. Significant amount of medical debt. 

In addition to the required supportive 

services, supportive services provided 

to this category of very low-income 

veteran families should focus on the 

following: housing stabilization, linking 

participants to community resources 

and mainstream benefits, and helping 

participants develop a plan for 

preventing future housing instability. 

3. Where HPRP funds or other funds 

from community resources are not 

readily available, grantees may choose 

to utilize supportive services grants, 

subject to the limitations described in 

this Notice and in §§ 62.33 and 62.34 of 

the Final Rule, to provide temporary 

financial assistance. Such assistance 

may, subject to the limitations in this 

Notice and the Final Rule, be paid 

directly to a third party on behalf of a 

participant for child care, 

transportation, rental assistance, utilityfee payment assistance, security or 

utility deposits, moving costs and 

emergency supplies as necessary. 

I. Application Selection Methodology: 

VA will review all supportive services 

grant applications in response to this 

Notice according to the following steps: 

1. Score all applicants that meet the 

threshold requirements described in 

§ 62.21 of the Final Rule. 

2. Rank those applicants who score at 

least 60 cumulative points and receive 

at least one point under each of the 

categories identified in § 62.22, 

paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) of the 

Final Rule. The applicants will be 

ranked in order from highest to lowest 

scores. 

3. Utilize the ranked scores of 

applicants as the primary basis for 

selection. However, in accordance with 

§ 62.23(d) of the Final Rule, VA will 

utilize the following considerations to 

select applicants for funding: 

i. Preference applicants that provide 

or coordinate the provision of 

supportive services for very low-income 

veteran families transitioning from 

homelessness to permanent housing; 

and 

ii. To the extent practicable, ensure 

that supportive services grants are 

equitably distributed across geographic 

regions, including rural communities 

and Tribal lands. 

4. Subject to the considerations noted 

in paragraph I.3. above, VA will fund 

the highest-ranked applicants for which 

funding is available. 

J. VA’s Goals and Objectives for 

Funds Awarded Under this Notice: In 

accordance with § 62.22(b)(6) of the 

Final Rule, VA will evaluate an 

applicant’s ability to meet VA’s goals 

and objectives for the SSVF Program. 

VA’s goals and objectives include the 

provision of supportive services 

designed to enhance the housing 

stability and independent living skills of 

very low-income veteran families 

occupying permanent housing across 

geographic regions. For purposes of this 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
79090 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2010 / Notices 

Notice, VA’s goals and objectives also 

include the provision of supportive 

services designed to rapidly re-house or 

prevent homelessness among people in 

the following target populations who 

also meet all requirements for being part 

of a very low-income veteran family 

occupying permanent housing: 

1. Veteran families earning less than 

30 percent of area median income as 

most recently published by HUD for 

programs under section 8 of the United 

States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 

1437f) (http://www.huduser.org). 

2. Veterans with at least one 

dependent family member. 

3. Chronically homeless veteran 

families (for the purposes of this Notice, 

the definition of a chronically homeless 

veteran family is an individual or family 

that (i) is homeless and lives or resides 

in a place not meant for human 

habitation, or safe haven, or in an 

emergency shelter; (ii) has been 

homeless and living or residing in a 

place not meant for human habitation, 

a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter 

continuously for at least one year or on 

at least four separate occasions in the 

last three years; and (iii) has an adult 

head of household with a diagnosable 

substance use disorder, serious mental 

illness, developmental disability (as 

defined in section 102 of the 

Developmental Disabilities Assistance 

and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 

15002)), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, 

cognitive impairments resulting from a 

brain injury, or chronic physical illness 

or disability, including the cooccurrence of two or more of those 

conditions). 

4. Formerly chronically homeless 

veteran families (for the purposes of this 

Notice, a formerly chronically homeless 

veteran family is defined as a veteran 

family who has been chronically 

homeless as defined in this Notice at 

one or more points in time within the 

past 3 years). 

K. Application Requirements: 

Additional supportive services grant 

application requirements are specified 

in the application package. Submission 

of an incorrect or incomplete 

application package will result in the 

application being rejected during 

threshold review. The application 

package contains all required forms and 

certifications. Selections will be made 

based on criteria described in the Final 

Rule and this Notice. Applicants will be 

notified of any additional information 

needed to confirm or clarify information 

provided in the application and the 

deadline by which to submit such 

information. 

L. Payments of Supportive Services 

Grant Funds: Grantees will receive 

payments electronically through the 

U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services Payment Management System 

(HHS PMS). Grantees will have the 

ability to request payments as frequently 

as they choose subject to the following 

limitations: 

1. During the first quarter of the 

grantee’s supportive services grant 

award period, the grantee’s cumulative 

requests for supportive services grant 

funds may not exceed 35 percent of the 

total supportive services grant award 

without written approval by VA. 

2. By the end of the second quarter of 

the grantee’s supportive services grant 

award period, the grantee’s cumulative 

requests for supportive services grant 

funds may not exceed 60 percent of the 

total supportive services grant award 

without written approval by VA. 

3. By the end of the third quarter of 

the grantee’s supportive services grant 

award period, the grantee’s cumulative 

requests for supportive services grant 

funds may not exceed 75 percent of the 

total supportive services grant award 

without written approval by VA. 

4. By the end of the fourth quarter of 

the grantee’s supportive services grant 

award period, the grantee’s cumulative 

requests for supportive services grant 

funds may not exceed 100 percent of the 

total supportive services grant award. 

M. Monitoring: VA places great 

emphasis on the responsibility and 

accountability of grantees. As described 

in §§ 62.23 and 62.71 of the Final Rule, 

VA has procedures in place to monitor 

supportive services provided to 

participants and outcomes associated 

with the supportive services provided 

under the SSVF Program. Applicants 

should be aware of the following: 

1. Upon execution of a supportive 

services grant agreement with VA, 

grantees will have a liaison appointed 

by the SSVF Program Office who will 

provide oversight and monitor 

supportive services provided to 

participants. 

2. Grantees will be required to enter 

data into a Homeless Management 

Information System (HMIS) Web-based 

software application. This data will 

consist of information on the 

participants served and types of 

supportive services provided by 

grantees. Grantees must treat the data 

for activities funded by the SSVF 

Program separate from that of activities 

funded by other programs. Grantees will 

be required to export client-level data 

for activities funded by the SSVF 

Program to VA on a regular basis. 

3. Monitoring will also include the 

submittal of quarterly and annual 

financial and performance reports by 

the grantee. The grantee will be 

expected to demonstrate adherence to 

the grantee’s proposed program concept, 

as described in the grantee’s 

application. 

4. Grantees will be required to 

provide each participant with a 

satisfaction survey which can be 

submitted by the participant directly to 

VA, within 45 to 60 days of the 

participant’s entry into the grantee’s 

program and again within 30 days of 

such participant’s pending exit from the 

grantee’s program. N. Technical 

Assistance: Information regarding how 

to obtain technical assistance with the
