Editor's Notes
Primarily focused on transitional housing programs for a variety of homeless veteran sub-populations Such as female veterans, families, returning veterans and incarcerated veterans The VA has not funded Service Centers since 2001. Purchase of vans is for transporting veterans to services and conducting outreach
VETS programs are all “employment focused” i.e., aimed at increasing employability of veterans through training and education and linking them to available jobs. Both the HVRP and the VWIP are small grant programs (only $36.33 million and $10 million respectively for FY2010). The Department of Labor seeks to maximize those resources by partnering with the VA and with HUD to promote multi-agency funded programs that integrate the various services and housing needed by homeless veterans. The two programs are similar in many respects, but differ most significantly in terms of whether or not they are specifically targeted to homeless veterans. The HVRP program is targeted to homeless veterans while the VWIP program is not necessarily targeted to homeless veterans but can also be used to serve this population. The VWIP program is targeted to several other special veterans populations and homeless veterans may also qualify as a member of one of those target populations.
On July 22, 2010, HUD, in collaboration with the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Labor, announced a three-year $15 million initiative to address the prevention of homelessness among our nation’s veterans. Existing HUD grantees or ‘Continuums of Care’ located near the following military installations will each receive $2 million: MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida ; Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California ; Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas ; Fort Drum in Watertown, New York ; and Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington . In addition, VA medical centers in the following areas will each receive $1 million: Tampa, San Diego, Dallas, Syracuse, New York; and American Lake in Washington. Similar in design to HPRP and is intended to address the financial and supportive services needs of veterans and their families who may be at-risk of homelessness, or experiencing short-term homelessness. Targeted at veterans from the wars in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, and veterans serving in the National Guard and Reserve. DOL programs: Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP), Jobs for Veterans State Grant Program, Disabled Veterans Outreach Specialists (DVOP) and Local Veterans Employment Representative (LVER) assistance, One Stop Career Centers and Transition Assistance Program (TAP) Employment Workshops, and assistance under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.

CTI - This is a time limited case management model to ensure housing stability through transitional services tiered to be reduced over time as individuals exit from institutional systems of care. - The premise is to strengthen an individual’s long-term ties to services, family, friends and other support networks to assist in reducing the possibility of an individual or family cycling out in to homelessness. -CTI ideally lasts no more than 9 months and is broken down in to 3 phases that each last approximately 3 months. - Consists of 3 phases Transition to Community Try-Out Transfer of Care
