REQUIREMENT: FY2020 4th Quarter Program Changes GIFTS Requirement Due Friday, September 18, 2020

The SSVF Program Office has published Program Change Requirements for the 4th quarter; these requirements are due September 18, 2020. Grantees may request changes to align their FY2020 budgets with changes made to program design or concept while operating under the recent CARES award. In addition, grantees may request anticipated changes for the operating year FY2021, as most grantees may be using FY2020 funds for part of the first quarter of FY2021.

This is an optional submission. Before completing, please refer to the SSVF Companion Guide to Program Changes available on the SSVF Website at https://www.va.gov/HOMELESS/ssvf/docs/SSVF_Companion_Guide_to_Program_Changes.pdf

NEW: National Veterans Legal Services Program Training – Combat-Related Special Compensation

The National Veterans Legal Services Program and DLA Piper have worked together to offer training about Veteran’s combat compensation. On September 16, 2020, at 2:00 pm EST, a webinar titled "Know your Rights: Combat-Related Special Compensation" will be available for all interested. A flyer containing details about the seminar is attached. Please feel free to share it widely.

ATTENTION: Support Veteran Voting Rights by Helping with Getting Registered

The SSVF Program Office requests that grantees work with the Veterans they serve to get registered to vote. The Veterans we work with have supported their country by signing their name on the line to serve in the United States Military to fight for our Freedom. Now is our time to support them by helping them get registered to vote. The link below provides information about voter registration deadlines, a guide for new voters, and a voter registration link.
