US Department of Labor announces $23M funding opportunity to provide support, preventative services for homeless veterans
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the availability of $23 million in grant funding to support organizations working to help homeless veterans and those at risk of homelessness by providing training and employment services.
Administered by the department’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service, the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program seeks to reduce and prevent veterans’ homelessness by assisting them in overcoming obstacles and successfully reentering the workforce.
“The Department of Labor understands that access to a good-paying job is one of the strongest tools we have to reduce and prevent veteran homelessness,” said Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer. “This $23 million investment will help veterans overcome barriers to employment and reenter the workforce with the dignity and opportunity they deserve.”
HVRP grants will provide each recipient with up to $500,000 annually, for a total of $1.5 million over a three-year period. Award recipients will be chosen to deliver workplace skills training, support participation in Registered Apprenticeship programs or other types of on-the-job training, and supply employment placement assistance.
Part of the broader Trump Administration effort to reduce homelessness among U.S. veterans, the initiative is a collaboration between the department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Continuum of Care Program, and the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Homeless Programs Office.
Eligible applicants include state and local workforce development boards, federally recognized Native American governments; state agencies; for-profit entities and non-profit organizations, including community and faith-based organizations; and public, state, and private institutions of higher education.
To provide information about the grant program and assist prospective applicants, VETS is offering two webinars in February. Participants will be able to learn more about the funding opportunity and ask questions about the application process on the following dates:
- Register for the January 27, 2026, 2 p.m. EST HVRP webinar
