THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF FUNDING. THIS IS A GENERAL FORECAST ONLY. GPD Grants Introduction The GPD Program is VAs largest transitional housing program for Veterans experiencing homelessness and is permanently authorized under Public Law 109-461. Since 1994, the GPD Program has awarded grants to community-based organizations to provide transitional housing with wraparound supportive services to assist vulnerable Veterans move into permanent housing. The grants are designed to meet Veterans at various stages as they move to stable housing. Community-based organizations receiving GPD grants offer focused transitional housing services through a variety of housing models targeted to different populations and needs of Veterans. The GPD program plays a vital role in the continuum of homeless services by providing supportive services to those Veterans who would otherwise be among the unsheltered homeless population. The result of GPD programs is that Veterans achieve residential stability, increase their skill levels and/or income and obtain greater self-determination. Types of GPD Grants Transitional housing grants: Per Diem Only (PDO) grants provide funding in the form of per diem payments to reimburse grantees for the cost of care provided to Veterans in transitional supportive housing. Special Need grants target housing and services to specific populations of Veterans (e.g., women, Veterans with chronic mental illness, frail elderly Veterans, Veterans caring for minor dependents, terminally ill Veterans). Transition-In-Place (TIP) grants offer Veteran residents housing in which supportive services transition out of the residence over time, rather than the resident. Upon completion of the TIP services, the resident retains the unit as their permanent housing with no requirement to move. Other types of grants: Case Management grants support Veterans who were previously experiencing homelessness or who are at risk for homelessness so that they may obtain or retain permanent housing. Capital grants support the costs of acquiring, renovating or constructing facilities and are only offered intermittently to improve existing facilities or to develop new transitional housing depending on the needs of the Department and funding availability. Lists of current grantees are available on the GPD website. How to Apply for GPD Funding Not all grant types are available annually.

CDC announces the availability of approximately $7 million in competitive supplemental funding for the 32 health department jurisdictions currently receiving Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US (EHE) initiative funding resources under notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) PS24-0047: High-Impact HIV Prevention and Surveillance Programs for Health Departments. Fully aligned with PS24-0047, the supplemental NOFO prioritizes acceleration of progress toward achieving the national HIV prevention goal of 50% pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) coverage by the end of 2025. Jurisdictions with greater need for PrEP and lower uptake among priority populations disproportionately affected by HIV and low PrEP prescriptions (i.e., Black and Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), and Black cisgender and transgender women) need these additional resources and flexibility to accelerate PrEP uptake through patient navigation/case management services and improve access to and utilization of existing PrEP services not covered by other financial resources. Recipients will implement enhanced and expanded programmatic activities to increase access to and uptake of PrEP for priority populations and to help further eliminate structural and social barriers that prevent equitable access to PrEP within EHE jurisdictions. Additionally, these enhanced and expanded PrEP programs will incorporate elements to increase HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy PEP) awareness and access, including activities with clinicians, non-clinical community-based organizations (CBOs), and persons at risk for HIV acquisition.The supplemental NOFO's period of performance is September 30, 2024 - May 31, 2025 (8 months). Recipients may request to continue implementation of supplemental programmatic activities during PS24-0047 Budget Year 2 (June 1, 2025 - May 31, 2026). Recipients will implement concurrently all required programmatic activities as described in both PS24-0047 and the forthcoming supplemental NOFO.
