On October 27, 2022, VA Grant and Per Diem (GPD) published two grant funding opportunities, now available for review on the GPD website:

Funding opportunity one: “Per Diem Only” (PDO) grants that fund transitional supportive housing beds and/or service centers.
- VA anticipates awarding 350 PDO grants to support approximately 10,500 transitional housing beds and 15 service centers nationwide.
- PDO grant applications must be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on Monday, February 6, 2023.
Funding opportunity two: “Transition in Place” (TIP) grants that provide Veterans with apartment-style housing that allows Veterans retain the unit as their permanent housing when they complete the GPD program.
- VA anticipates awarding approximately 40 TIP grants to support 600 TIP beds nationwide.
- TIP grant applications must be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern on Monday, January 30, 2023.

These are new nationally competitive awards and both funding opportunities are open to any eligible entity (i.e., not just current VA GPD grantees). More information—including prerecorded technical assistance webinars and FAQs—is available on our website, https://www.va.gov/HOMELESS/GPD.asp. Please note the different application deadlines among the funding opportunities. The VA GPD National Program Office team highly recommends that any interested and eligible applicant begin planning and coordination with their local VA medical center points of contact as soon as possible.

Please carefully review the information on our website (https://www.va.gov/HOMELESS/GPD.asp), which includes instructions on how to access the electronic grants management system (a.k.a., eGMS) GPD uses to receive grant applications, as well as specifics about each grant.

After thorough review of the notices of funding and the recorded webinars, questions may be directed to GPDGrants@va.gov.
