COMING SOON:
FY2020 Quarter 4 Program Changes (GIFTS Requirement)
The SSVF Program
Office will publish Program Change requests for Quarter 4 on August 17, 2020;
the due date for these requirements is September 14, 2020. Grantees may
request changes to align their FY20 budgets with changes that were made to
program design or concept while operating under the recent CARES award.
In addition, grantees may request anticipated changes for operating year
FY2021, as most grantees may be using FY20 funds for part of the first Quarter
of FY21.
UPDATE: SSVF
Emergency Housing Assistance Tracking
The SSVF Program
Office has provided grantees with more flexibility in using Emergency Housing
Assistance by waiving the 45-day limit on the number of days a Veteran could
stay in a hotel. This has allowed grantees more time to work on housing plans
to move Veterans directly from hotels into permanent housing units. The
SSVF Program Office will begin asking grantees to track permanent housing
placements, and in August, grantees will report Veteran placements from hotels
into permanent housing on the Emergency Housing Requirement form.
Thank you,
SSVF Program
Office
