Veterans Affairs announces $1M in grants to help homeless families in Santa Maria
“The program identifies three classes of families: those who are residing in permanent housing and at risk of becoming homeless; are homeless but scheduled to become residents of permanent housing within a specified time period; and are seeking other housing after leaving permanent housing within a specified time period.
Applicants who demonstrate the ‘greatest capacity’ to end homelessness among veterans or have sustained ‘the gains made in ending homelessness’ in communities that have met federal criteria and benchmarks set by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness will be provided with funding, according to the notice.”
