Opportunity Information: Apply for VA GPD PDO FY2020
The GPD Per Diem Only Grant Program (PDO) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under the Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program. Its purpose is to make per diem funding available to organizations that can operate transitional housing beds and/or service centers for Veterans who are experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of becoming homeless. Rather than focusing on one single program design, the VA is seeking applicants that can deliver support under established GPD models, with an emphasis on helping Veterans move from instability into safer, more permanent housing and services.
Under this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), the VA anticipated supporting a large national footprint: roughly 11,500 transitional housing beds and about 20 service center awards. Applicants could propose one model or a blend of transitional housing bed models, depending on the needs in their community and the organization’s capabilities. The models specifically referenced include Bridge Housing, Low Demand, Hospital-to-Housing, Clinical Treatment, and Service-Intensive Transitional Housing. In addition to bed-based projects, the NOFA also includes service centers, which generally function as non-residential hubs where Veterans can access targeted services, supports, and connections to housing resources.
The funding mechanism is per diem, meaning support is tied to service delivery (for example, the provision of transitional beds and related programming) rather than a single lump-sum approach. Selection and funding levels are not automatic; awards depend on multiple factors such as the quality and completeness of applications, how well proposed projects align with VA priorities and program requirements, and overall funding availability. In other words, even eligible applicants need to demonstrate strong program design, clear capacity to operate, and a compelling plan to serve Veterans effectively.
Eligible applicants include a range of public and nonprofit entities: state governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments, federally recognized Tribal governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The NOFA also notes eligibility for 501(c)(19) organizations, which are veterans’ organizations recognized under the tax code. The opportunity is categorized under the Housing activity area and is associated with CFDA number 64.024.
Administratively, the funding opportunity is titled “GPD Per Diem Only Grant Program (PDO)” with the opportunity number “VA GPD PDO FY2020.” It was posted on January 3, 2020, and had an original application closing date of March 2, 2020. The VA encouraged prospective applicants to rely on the full NOFA as published in the Federal Register and to consult the technical assistance resources available through the VA GPD program website (https://www.va.gov/homeless/gpd.asp), which typically includes model guidance, application instructions, and clarifications that can affect competitiveness and compliance.Apply for VA GPD PDO FY2020
