Lehigh Valley Homeless Veterans Fund Grant

The Lehigh Valley Homeless Veterans Fund provides essential financial support for agencies serving homeless veterans in Lehigh and Northampton Counties. Grants of up to $50,000 are available for transitional and supportive housing programs that also offer vital services like case management and education. With a total funding pool of $150,000, the initiative aims to stabilize and expand existing programs, ensuring sustainability even in the absence of future funding from the Homeless Veteran Fund.

Background
The Lehigh Valley Homeless Veteran Fund Committee (“The Committee”) is pleased to announce the availability of funds for homeless Veteran transitional and supportive housing through the Lehigh Valley Homeless Veteran Fund at the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation. Funds are available to agencies that serve Veterans in Lehigh and Northampton Counties.
Programs offering transitional or supportive housing (up to 24 months) must also provide appropriate services such as case management, education, crisis intervention, financial, housing, and life-skills counseling.
Grants to supplement, stabilize, or expand existing programs, or as seed money to initiate new and innovative programs, are preferred. However, applicants should note that future grant availability is predicated on future funding availability and should ensure that programs can be sustained through other sources should additional funding from the Homeless Veteran Fund (HVF) not be available.
Applicants must disburse grant funds within 24 months of award date.
$150,000 in funding is available for grants of up to $50,000 per project/application. The minimum dollar amount for grant awards is $10,000. An applicant may submit multiple grant applications if they are clearly for separate projects or initiatives that can be awarded and implemented individually. Proposals that accomplish the same mission or objective should be submitted as one grant application.
