Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program offering awards up to $500,000 annually to organizations that train and employ homeless vets.

The Department of Labor’s Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) is offering grants for organizations to provide training and employment services to homeless veterans through the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program.

The grants — up to $500,000 annually for a total of up to $1.5 million over a three-year period — are awarded on a competitive basis to state and local workforce investment boards, local public agencies and nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and faith-based and community organizations.

Grant applicants must have a familiarity with the area and population to be served and the ability to administer an effective and timely program.

Applications for the grant program will be accepted until Feb. 23.
