NEW: SSVF FY 2020 Annual Report
The VA Homeless Programs Office (HPO) Annual Report summarizes the results achieved through 2020 by SSVF Grantees. This report covers the ninth grant period for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) SSVF program, including awards made in 2019 for the FY 2020 period (October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2020). The report summarizes the results attained by the 257 SSVF Grantees funded for FY 2020. It is intended to inform Congress and the public about the Grantees’ important work helping to prevent and end homelessness among our nation’s Veterans. The report also contains a specific section on SSVF’s COVID-19 response.
The report is available at: Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) FY 2020 Annual Report (va.gov)
