State official details Veteran Homelessness & Transition Grant: award size, reporting and eligibility
Summary
The Veteran Homelessness & Transition Grant supports housing assistance and transitional services for veterans. Jason Fowler and SCDVA staff described a minimum award of $50,000 and a maximum of $250,000 per grant cycle, quarterly reporting requirements, and eligibility tied to Title 38 veterans definitions.
Jason Fowler described the Veteran Homelessness & Transition Grant as an SCDVA-managed program funded by General Assembly appropriations to support organizations providing housing stability for veterans. "The minimum grant in this case is $50,000, and the maximum grant is $250,000 per grant cycle," Fowler said, and he added that the program emphasizes housing assistance, rental and utility aid, transitional housing paired with substance-abuse treatment and employment supports.
Fowler said the program requires grantees to provide quarterly reports that SCDVA publishes on its website and that SCDVA staff (notably Alexis Martin, operations) conduct site visits to ensure funds are used for the stated purposes. He noted veteran eligibility is defined under Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations and that the program looks for measurable objectives, budgets, timelines and collaborative funding to strengthen applications.
