The Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) program staff helps HVRP grant participants achieve job placement and retention goals by providing workforce system resources. In PY23, grant recipients reported 11,706 HVRP participants (73 percent) were co-enrolled in various programs offered at American Job Centers (AJCs).
Each year, VETS uses a small portion of HVRP funds to support grantee Stand Down events. These events, held in local communities, provide a variety of social services to homeless veterans, and serve as gateways into structured housing and reintegration programs. In FY24, VETS awarded $294,611 for 40 Stand Down events in18 states.
