Urban Homeless Veterans' Reintegration 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 under 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. Due to limited available funding and the high concentration of homeless veterans in the metropolitan areas of the 75 U.S. cities largest in population and the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico, the only jurisdictions eligible to be served through this urban competition for HVRPs are those areas listed in 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) 2005, VETS anticipates that up to $2,000,000 will be available for grant awards up to a maximum of $300,000 for each grant award. VETS expects to award approximately seven (7) grants. This notice contains all of the necessary information and forms to apply for grant funding. The period of performance for these PY 2005 grants will be July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Two (2) optional years of funding may be available, depending upon Congressional appropriations, the agencys decision to exercise the optional year(s) of funding, and satisfactory grantee performance.
