Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA VETS 19 01
The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) funding opportunity (which also covers the Incarcerated Veterans Transition Program (IVTP) and the Homeless Female Veterans and Veterans with Families Program (HFVVWF), all grouped together as "HVRP") is a discretionary federal grant run by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS). Its central aim is straightforward but ambitious: help homeless veterans reenter the workforce by connecting them to real jobs, while also strengthening local service systems so communities can respond more effectively to the layered challenges that often come with homelessness.
At the core of this opportunity is an emphasis on "meaningful employment." In this context, meaningful employment is not temporary or informal work, and it is not sheltered or noncompetitive placement. It is defined as open and competitive paid employment that fits the veteran's goals, skills, and abilities. The program also frames job quality as part of the reintegration goal: ideally, placements should lead to a family-sustaining wage, meaning pay that at least covers a worker's basic financial needs. In practical terms, the grant is designed to support programs that move veterans beyond crisis survival and toward stable employment that can support longer-term housing stability and overall reintegration.
The opportunity is also explicitly geared toward building and improving service delivery systems, not just delivering isolated services. That means projects are expected to address the complex, interconnected barriers homeless veterans often face when trying to work, such as gaps in work history, lack of transportation, unmet health or behavioral health needs, limited access to identification documents, legal issues, family instability, and challenges transitioning from institutions. By funding organizations to coordinate employment services with broader supports, HVRP is meant to encourage integrated, community-level approaches that can produce stronger outcomes than employment services alone.
Eligibility for this grant is broad and intentionally inclusive, reflecting the reality that veteran employment and homelessness work is often shared across multiple sectors. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and U.S. territories or possessions. Educational institutions can apply as well, including public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. Tribal entities are eligible, including federally recognized tribes, non-federally recognized tribal governments, and tribally designated organizations. Housing-focused entities are included through public and Indian housing agencies. The program is also open to nonprofit organizations, for-profit/commercial entities, and faith-based organizations, recognizing that effective employment and reintegration services are often delivered through community-based providers. In addition, state and local workforce development boards established under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), along with other state and local government agencies, are eligible applicants, aligning the program with the broader public workforce system.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is identified as FOA VETS 19 01 and is associated with CFDA number 17.805. It uses a grant funding instrument and is categorized under "Other" for the funding activity category. The posting indicates an award ceiling of $500,000 per award. The original closing date listed for applications was April 26, 2019, and the creation date of the opportunity was March 27, 2019. Overall, the grant is structured to support organizations that can deliver employment-focused reintegration services for homeless veterans (including those transitioning from incarceration and women veterans or veterans with families), with an emphasis on competitive, appropriate job placement and system-building that improves how communities serve this population.Apply for FOA VETS 19 01
