Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA VETS 18 01

The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) funding opportunity (which also covers the Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program, or IVTP, and the Homeless Female Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Families program, or HFVVWF) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (DOL-VETS). It is authorized under Title 38 of the United States Code, Sections 2021 and 2023, and is designed to fund community-based efforts that help homeless veterans move into stable, meaningful employment while also strengthening local service delivery systems that can respond to the multiple, overlapping challenges homeless veterans often face.

For this competition, DOL-VETS announced approximately $12 million in total funds available nationwide. The agency anticipated making around 75 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000 per grantee. Applicants could propose a 12-month project, with the stated period of performance running from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The intent is to support time-limited, outcomes-focused programming that can demonstrate measurable progress in helping homeless veterans obtain jobs and reconnect with the workforce, rather than simply providing short-term assistance without an employment pathway.

The program purpose centers on employment reintegration for homeless veterans, recognizing that employment is often the key stabilizing factor that supports long-term housing security and overall recovery. In practical terms, HVRP funds are meant to support services that prepare participants for work, connect them to employers and job opportunities, and help them overcome barriers that can interfere with hiring and retention. The opportunity statement also emphasizes "stimulating the development of effective service delivery systems," which signals that DOL-VETS expects grantees to coordinate with other local providers (for example, housing and supportive services organizations, workforce partners, and veteran-serving agencies) so that employment services are not delivered in isolation from the rest of a veteran's needs.

This solicitation groups three related program tracks under the broader HVRP umbrella. HVRP generally focuses on homeless veterans seeking reintegration into the labor force. IVTP targets incarcerated veterans who are transitioning back into the community and are at high risk of homelessness, with the goal of improving employment outcomes during reentry. HFVVWF focuses specifically on homeless female veterans and homeless veterans with families, reflecting the distinct service needs and employment barriers that can arise for women veterans and for veterans responsible for children or other dependents.

Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number FOA-VETS-18-01 and is associated with CFDA number 17.805. The original posting date was April 6, 2018, and the original application deadline was May 7, 2018, with applications due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, which typically indicates that certain types of organizations (often including nonprofit organizations, state or local entities, workforce organizations, and other capable service providers) may be eligible depending on the specific requirements laid out in the complete announcement.

A notable restriction in this competition is that 2018 Option Year Award recipients could not receive funding from this competition for an identical project proposal. That condition is meant to prevent duplicative funding for the same scope of work and to encourage either new applicants, expanded approaches, or meaningfully revised project designs rather than a direct repeat of an already funded option-year effort.

Overall, the opportunity is aimed at funding relatively short, intensive, employment-centered interventions for some of the highest-need veteran populations: veterans experiencing homelessness, veterans exiting incarceration who are at risk of homelessness, and homeless women veterans and veteran families. The federal funding is positioned not only to provide direct participant services leading to jobs, but also to help communities build more coordinated, effective systems that can address the complex mix of employment barriers, housing instability, and supportive service needs that often occur together for homeless veterans.
