REGISTER NOW: SSVF Webinar Series: Community Rehousing Coordination – Friday October 9th, 2020 at 12:00pm EST

 

The SSVF Program Office, in conjunction with the SSVF TA Team, will provide information about coordinating rehousing with VA and community partners to serve as many Veterans experiencing homelessness as possible. This webinar will provide an overview of resources and planning for rehousing being done by community stakeholders.  In addition, there will be an overview of how Grantees can ensure they have effective referrals mechanisms to identify Veterans in the community who are potentially eligible for SSVF; and to refer Veterans who need a housing intervention not available through VA funded programs.

ATTENTION:  Blackbaud Grantmaking (GIFTS) Transition

 

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Blackbaud Grantmaking (GIFTS) system that your agency used to submit requirements and apply for your current award will no longer be accessible in the near future.  We ask that your agency save copies of any applications or requirement “tasks” related to your SSVF grant applications prior to October 28th, 2020.  MORE information will be PROVIDED on the October 8th, 2020 WEBINAR. Please make every effort to have all appropriate staff attend this webinar.

 

 

ATTENTION: SSVF Participant Satisfaction Survey Deactivated

 

As of 12:00 AM September 30, 2020 the SSVF Participant Satisfaction survey will no longer be available.  The registration link will not be active, and Veterans will be unable to complete the survey.   Veterans should no longer be registered for the SSVF Satisfaction Survey.  The SSVF Program Office will provide additional information on an updated survey process.  We value feedback from the Veterans served by your programs and will have additional guidance shortly.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact ssvf@va.gov.

 

 

Thank you,
