VA Grant & Per Diem Program: Special Need Renewals
SUMMARY:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is announcing the availability of funds for currently operational fiscal year (FY) 2009 VA Grant and Per Diem Special Need Grant Recipients in conjunction with their collaborative VA Special Need partners and currently operational VA Grant and Per Diem Special Need Grant Recipients not involved with collaborative VA partners.
All current VA Grant and Per Diem Special Need Grant recipients will have the opportunity to reapply for assistance under the Special Need Grant Component of VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program.
The focus of this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is to encourage applicants to continue to deliver services to the homeless Special Need veteran population as outlined in their FY 2009 Special Need grant application.
This Notice contains information concerning the program, application process, and amount of funding available.
DATES:
An original signed and dated request for re-application letter (on agency letterhead) for assistance under the VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program must be received in the Grant and Per Diem Program Office, by 4 p.m.
Eastern Time on Thursday, August 25, 2011 (see re-application requirements below).
Requests for re-application may not be sent by facsimile (Fax).
In the interest of fairness to all competing applicants, this deadline is firm as to date and hour, and VA will treat as ineligible for consideration any request for re- application that is received after the deadline.
Applicants should take this practice into account and make early submission of their material to avoid any risk of loss of eligibility brought about by unanticipated delays or other delivery-related problems.
For a Copy of the Application Package:
An application package is not needed for this NOFA.
Applicants submitting a letter on their agency's letterhead requesting re-application agree that VA shall use the applicant's previously awarded FY 2009 Special Need grant application for scoring purposes (see re-application requirements in this NOFA).
Submission of Application:
An original and complete letter requesting re-application with project number (see re-application requirements in this NOFA) must be submitted to the following address:
VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program Office, 10770 North 46th Street, Suite C-200, Tampa, Florida 3361 7. Letters of re- application must be received in the Grant and Per Diem Program office by the re-application deadline.
Any additional materials arriving separately will not be included in the re-application package for consideration.
Allocation:
Approximately $11 million is available for current Grant and Per Diem Special Need grant projects.
Funding will be for a period beginning on October 1, 2011 and ending on September 30, 201 3. Applicants are limited to a maximum award equal to their FY 2009 Special Need award plus a 5-percent increase.
For example:
$100,000 award in FY 2009 would be $100,000 plus 5 percent or $105,00 0. Applicants should ensure their funding requests are based on this 24-month period and should be approximately in line with prior expenditures.
Based on Grant and Per Diem funding availability, approximately, $8 million is expected to be made available over the specified time (internally) for the current VA collaborative partners.
The maximum award to each VA collaborative partner will follow the same methodology; limited to a maximum award equal to their FY 2009 Special Need award plus a 5-percent increase.
The goal of this Notice is to ensure a continuation of Special Need services to homeless veterans and their VA collaborative partners.
