Please refer to 38 CFR part 61 for

A. Purpose 

VA is pleased to issue this NOFA for 

VA’s Homeless Providers Grant and Per 

Diem Program as a part of the effort to 

end homelessness among our Nation’s 

veterans. VA expects to fund 

approximately 450 beds over a 3-year 

period under this NOFA for Funding 

Priority 1 (see section E., below, for 

explanation of funding priorities). The 

maximum award of $1.2 million will 

support an average of 25 beds per night, 

per project, at the current maximum per 

diem rate of $38.90; taking into 

consideration that the maximum per 

diem rate may increase in future years. 

VA expects to fund approximately 150 

beds under Funding Priorities 2–4 for as 

long as the grantee meets the program 

requirements under 38 CFR part 61. 

B. Definitions, Regulations, and 

Authority 

Funding applied for under this NOFA 

is authorized by 38 U.S.C. 2011, 2012, 

2013, 2061, and 2064. For definitions of 

terms that appear in this NOFA, and 

regulations governing VA’s Homeless 

Providers Grant and Per Diem Program,

fairness to all competing applicants, this 

deadline is firm as to date and hour, and 

VA will not consider any application 

that is received after the deadline. 

Applicants should consider submitting

other delivery-related problems.

rejected or not funded. Applicants 

should ensure that the items listed in 

the ‘‘application requirements’’ section 

K of this NOFA are addressed in their 

application. 

D. Allocation 

Under funding priority 1 

approximately $20 million is available 

for per diem only awards under this 

NOFA for a period beginning on the

ending on or about September 30, 2015. 

The maximum amount of the per diem 

award under Funding Priority 1 for any 

awardee may not exceed $1.2 million 

for the entire grant period. Funding for 

the entire grant period will be obligated 

at the time of the award and available 

for draw down by the grantee over the 

grant period. Monthly reimbursements 

will be issued for bed days of care 

provided based upon the project’s 

approved per diem rate. VA will not 

award more than $48,000.00 per bed 

over the entire grant period based on the 

average number of beds to be provided 

as stated in the grant application. VA 

payment is limited to the applicant’s 

cost of care per eligible veteran minus 

other sources of payments to the
