New Grantee Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP): Executive Summary (Applicants For Grant Funds Should Read This Notice In Its Entirety): This competition is targeting eligible applicants that have not previously received HVRP or Veterans' Workforce Investment Program (VWIP) Funds. The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS), announces a grant competition under 38 U.S.C. 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. Both urban and non-urban areas within the United States and its territories are eligible jurisdictions to receive services under this competition. Urban areas are defined as the metropolitan areas of the 75 U.S. cities largest in population and the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico (See Appendix G). Non-urban areas are defined as the geographic areas other than the metropolitan areas of the 75 U.S. cities largest in population and the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Applicants must identify whether they are applying for an urban or non-urban grant award. HVRP grants are intended to address two objectives: (1) To provide services [[Page 20505]] 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 new grantee HVRP solicitation covering Fiscal Year (FY) 2006, VETS anticipates that up to $1,500,000 will be available for grant awards up to a maximum of $300,000 for urban areas and $200,000 for non-urban areas. VETS expects to award approximately six (6) grants. Please be advised that urban area requests exceeding $300,000 and non-urban area requests exceeding $200,000 will be considered non- responsive. This notice contains all of the necessary information and forms to apply for grant funding. The period of performance for these PY 2006 grants will be July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. Two (2) optional years of additional funding may be available, depending upon Congressional appropriations, the agency's decision to exercise the optional year(s) of funding, and satisfactory grantee and sub- awardee(s) performance.
