Non-Urban Homeless Veterans' Reintergration Program (HVRP): EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Applicants For Grant Funds Should Read This Notice In Its Entirety): The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Veterans? Employment and Training Service (VETS), announces a grant competition that complies with the requirements of 38 U.S.C. Section 2021, as added by Section 5 of Public Law 107-95, the Homeless Veterans Comprehensive Assistance Act of 2001 (HVCAA). Section 2021 requires the Secretary of Labor to conduct, directly or through grant or contract, such programs as the Secretary determines appropriate to expedite the reintegration of homeless veterans into the labor force. The Homeless Veterans? Reintegration Program (HVRP) grants are designated in three (3) award categories: urban, non-urban, and intermediaries. Separate Solicitations for Grant Applications (SGAs) are being issued for each grant category. This is the solicitation for ?Non-Urban HVRP grants.? Previous HVRP grants have provided valuable information on approaches and techniques that work in the different environments. The only jurisdictions that are eligible to be served through this non-urban competition for HVRPs are the metropolitan areas outside of the 75 U.S. cities largest in population and the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico (see Appendix I). HVRP grants are intended to address two objectives: (1) to provide services to assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into meaningful employment within the labor force, and (2) to stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that will address the complex problems facing homeless veterans. Successful applicants will design programs that assist eligible veterans by providing job placement services, job training, counseling, supportive services, and other assistance to expedite the reintegration of homeless veterans into the labor force. Successful programs will also be designed to be flexible in addressing the universal as well as the local or regional problems that have had a negative impact on homeless veterans reentering the workforce. Under this solicitation covering Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, VETS anticipates that up to $1,600,000 will be available for grant awards up to a maximum of $200,000 for each grant award. VETS expects to award approximately eight (8) grants. This notice contains all of the necessary information and forms to apply for grant funding. The period of performance for these PY 2004 grants will be July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005. Two (2) optional years of funding may be available, depending upon Congressional funding appropriations, the agency?s decision to exercise the optional year(s) of funding, and satisfactory grantee performance.
