VA
Authorizes National Expansion of SSVF Shallow Subsidy Initiative
The attached
notice authorizes Grantees in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., the
Virgin Islands, and Guam to offer 2-year rental subsidies described in 38 CFR
Part 62.34(a)(6) and (8), known as shallow subsidies, to program participants.
Grantees who do not currently receive special funding to support shallow
subsidies, will be awarded additional funding. In the coming days, MOAs
will be sent to newly funded Grantees. You will need to review, sign, and
return these MOAs to the SSVF Program office prior to the release of this new
funding. New funding should be available through separate HHS accounts before
the end of the FY 2021. Additional information will be shared in the coming
weeks as the expansion of this initiative rolls out. Please email any questions
to: SSVF@VA.gov or contact your Regional
Coordinator.

SSVF Program
