SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

funds for assistance under VA’s

Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem

program. This program is authorized by

Pub. L. 102–590, the Homeless Veterans

Comprehensive Service Programs Act of

1992. Funding applied for under this

Notice may be used for: (1) Expansion,

remodeling or alteration of existing

buildings; (2) acquisition of buildings,

and acquisition and rehabilitation of

buildings; (3) new construction; and (4)

procurement of vans. Applicants must

have established supportive housing or

applying for per diem payments, or inkind assistance through VA in lieu of

per diem payments, need only submit

Request for Recognition of Eligibility.

Requirements for receiving per diem

payments are specified at 38 CFR

17.715—17.723.

Grant applicants may not receive

assistance to replace funds provided by

any state or local government to assist

homeless persons. For existing projects,

VA will fund only the portion of the

project that will expand the program. A

proposal for an existing project that

seeks to shift its focus by changing the

population to be served or the precise

mix of services to be offered is not

eligible for consideration. Not more than

25 percent of services available in

projects funded through this grant

program may be provided to clients who

are not receiving those services as

veterans.

Authority

VA’s Homeless Providers Grant and

Per Diem Program is authorized by

sections 3 and 4 of Pub. L. 102–590, the

Homeless Veterans Comprehensive

Service Programs Act of 1992; 38 USC

7721 note. The Program is implemented

by the final rule codified at 38 CFR

Federal Register. The funds made

A total of $6.0 million is available for

the grant and per diem components of

this program. A maximum of one award

will be made for the procurement of a

van or vans as Pub. L. 102–590 limits

the number of such grants to twenty and

VA made nineteen such awards last

year. Such award, like all others, will be

contingent upon the applicant achieving

the requisite score.
