Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program
VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program funds community agencies that provide services to Veterans experi- encing homelessness. The purpose is to promote the provision of transitional hous- ing and services with the goal of helping homeless Veterans achieve residential sta- bility, increase their skill levels and/or in- come, and obtain greater self- determination. As the Federal government, VA, and our community partners continue to make progress in reducing the number of homeless Veterans, resources will be aligned to be commensurate with the antic- ipated need. The GPD Program is taking steps to ensure transitional housing re- sources remain available and a gradual right-sizing of the program occurs in con- junction with the overall decrease of the homeless Veteran population. The invest- ment in GPD represents a commitment to balancing these needed community-based services for Veterans experiencing home- lessness with increased access to perma- nent housing opportunities.
FY 2014 - $244 million FY 2015 - $250 million FY 2016 (proposed) - $201 million
