GPD Per Diem Only Grant Program (PDO)
SUMMARY:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is announcing the availability of funding for new grants under the Per Diem Only (PDO) grant component of the VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) program in an effort to reduce homelessness among Veterans.
Applications for assistance are being accepted from eligible entities to provide per diem payments for facilitating housing stabilization for Veterans experiencing homelessness.
Funding will support PDO transitional supportive housing bed models and service centers.

Each application for transitional supportive housing beds must include a minimum of one housing model per application and a minimum of five beds per housing model.
