US Department of Labor awards more than $58M to support delivery of services to help homeless veterans reenter workforce
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the award of more than $58 million in grants to support the efforts of organizations that help homeless veterans by enabling them to overcome barriers to re-entering the workforce and finding meaningful employment.

Administered by the Veterans’ Employment and Training Service, the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program provides funding for three years to support the delivery of services to homeless veterans and those at risk of homelessness. The grants awarded today will provide more than $28 million for 72 new three-year grants. VETS is also providing an additional $29 million to 87 organizations in the second or third years of the program.

“Upholding our responsibility to our veterans is central to the Unity Agenda outlined in President Biden’s State of the Union address,” said Assistant Secretary for Veterans’ Employment and Training James D. Rodriguez. “The grants we’ve announced today will help homeless veterans and those at risk of being homeless secure good jobs with benefits and support efforts focused on building an inclusive economy.”

HVRP awards grants competitively to state and local workforce investment boards, local public agencies, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and faith-based and community organizations. Through the program’s services, veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness can learn occupational skills, gain apprenticeships or on-the-job training opportunities, and receive job search and placement assistance.
