What This Grant Funds

HVRP is an employment-focused, competitive federal grant program intended to enable veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness reach their full employment potential and obtain high-quality career outcomes. HVRP is aligned with the priorities set forth by the President’s Executive Orders to deliver comprehensive employment services to eligible veterans to assist these veterans in transitioning from homelessness to stable employment and to connect them with high-paying, skilled job opportunities that will shape the workforce of the future.


To help address the number of veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, DOL/VETS requires HVRP grant recipients to provide services tailored to each veteran’s needs using a case management approach. Grant recipients must help connect veterans to supportive services available in their local communities. In addition, grant recipients must also help veterans successfully return to work by providing job training services that support their needs. This can be done by providing direct help or by creating a strong referral system that includes tools, resources, and partnerships that identify, find, prepare, and support veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness so they can reach their full employment potential.


The HVRP website, the Prospective HVRP Applicant Resources website, the 2025 HVRP Program Guide, and Veterans’ Program Letter (VPL) 06-24 HVRP Requirements and Functions provide useful information about program requirements.

Who Can Apply

U.S Territories or Possessions; Native American Tribally Designated Organizations; State and Local Workforce Development Boards (SWDBs/LWDBs) established under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA); Faith-based Organizations; and Other State and Local Government Agencies. Faith-based organizations are encouraged to apply. Those that meet the eligibility requirements may receive awards under this funding opportunity. DOL will not, in the selection of recipients and administration of the grant, discriminate on the basis of an organization's religious character, affiliation, exercise, or lack thereof, or on the basis of conduct that would not be considered grounds to favor or disfavor a similarly situated secular organization. Among eligible applicants listed above, the applicant agency or organization must also maintain a physical location in the proposed Service Delivery Area. Please see Section IV.C.1 of the FOA for more information about the physical location. Any organization whose federal grant was terminated, as described in 2 C.F.R. § 200.340, before the expiration of the period of performance (PoP) established by that grant's FOA will be ineligible to apply for any HVRP FOA for a three-year period (e.g. FOA-VETS-26-01, FOA-VETS-27-01, and/or FOA-VETS 28-01) following the termination date, unless the termination was due to unanticipated circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the grant recipient (e.g., natural disaster). A termination is defined as an action initiated by either the grant recipient or the awarding federal agency that terminated the grant prior to the conclusion of the PoP.
