<p>THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF FUNDING. THIS IS A GENERAL FORECAST ONLY.</p> <p><strong><u>Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program Introduction</u></strong></p> <p>The GPD Program is VA’s largest transitional housing program for Veterans experiencing homelessness and is permanently authorized under Public Law 109-461.</p> <p>Since 1994, the GPD Program has awarded grants to community-based organizations to provide transitional housing with wraparound supportive services to assist vulnerable Veterans move into permanent housing. The grants are designed to meet Veterans at various stages as they move to stable housing. Community-based organizations receiving GPD grants offer focused transitional housing services through a variety of housing models targeted to different populations and needs of Veterans. The GPD program plays a vital role in the continuum of homeless services by providing supportive services to those Veterans who would otherwise be among the unsheltered homeless population. The result of GPD programs is that Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income, and obtain greater self-determination.</p> <p><strong><u>Types of GPD Grants</u></strong></p> <p><strong>Transitional housing grants:</strong></p> <p><em>Per Diem Only (PDO) grants</em> provide funding in the form of per diem payments to reimburse grantees for the cost of care provided to Veterans in transitional supportive housing.</p> <p><em>Special Need grants</em> target housing and services to specific populations of Veterans (e.g., women, Veterans with chronic mental illness, frail elderly Veterans, Veterans caring for minor dependents, terminally ill Veterans).</p> <p><em>Transition-In-Place (TIP) grants </em>offer Veteran residents housing in which supportive services transition out of the residence over time, rather than the resident.
