HVRP National Targets and Outcomes

Program Year (PY) 2025 – July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026

VETS awarded over $61 million to 63 new and 98 continuation HVRP grants that served 16,207 participants during PY25. Over 55 percent of HVRP exiters were placed into employment with an average hourly wage of $21.15. In the second quarter after exit, the HVRP employment rate was 43 percent and median earnings were $8,840

The Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) program staff help HVRP grant participants achieve job placement and retention goals by providing workforce system resources. In PY25, grant recipients reported 6,921 HVRP participants (43 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 grant recipient 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 Fiscal Year (FY) 2026, VETS awarded $266,251 for 35 Stand Down events.
