Opportunity Information: Apply for VA SSVF 2027

The VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity created under Section 604 of the Veterans Mental Health and Other Care Improvements Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-387), codified at 38 U.S.C. 2044. Through this program, the Department of Veterans Affairs provides supportive services grants to selected private nonprofit organizations and eligible consumer cooperatives. The goal is to help very low-income Veteran families who are either already living in permanent housing but at risk of losing it, or who are transitioning into permanent housing and need targeted support to stay stable.

SSVF is designed around housing stability and homelessness prevention. Funded organizations deliver case management and a broad set of supportive services that address the practical barriers that often push a family into homelessness or keep them homeless longer than necessary. On the prevention side, services focus on keeping Veterans from experiencing the imminent loss of their current home, including helping the household stabilize their situation or locate a more suitable housing option before a crisis becomes homelessness. On the rapid rehousing side, the program supports Veterans and their families who are already homeless by helping them move quickly into permanent housing, with the understanding that many would likely remain homeless without this assistance.

The funding announcement covers both renewal applicants and new applicants, and the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) explains program requirements, application steps, and the amount of funding available. Awards made under this opportunity are intended to support program operations beginning October 1, 2026, which aligns with the federal fiscal year start date and signals when funded service delivery is expected to begin.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title "VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program" and the opportunity number "VA SSVF 2027."
