WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the award of more than $57 million in grants to support programs that help veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness overcome barriers to the workforce and find meaningful employment.Administered by the Veterans’ Employment and Training Service, the Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program awarded more than $15 million to fund 34 new three-year grants, and $42 million to 123 organizations now in their second or third years in the program. These organizations provide participating veterans with occupational skills, connect them with Registered Apprenticeships or other on-the-job training, and deliver job search and placement services.“Homeless veterans face a complex set of problems and require multiple approaches to deliver needed services,” explained Assistant Secretary for Veterans’ Employment and Training James D. Rodriguez. “The Department of Labor understands that access to a good job is an important part of reducing or preventing veteran homelessness. The grants announced today will assist veterans in overcoming obstacles to finding and retaining meaningful employment.”HVRP awards grants competitively to nonprofit and for-profit organizations, Native American Tribal governments, state and local workforce development boards, state and local government agencies, higher education institutions and faith-based and community organizations. Through the program’s services, veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness can learn occupational skills, participate in apprenticeships or on-the-job training opportunities, and receive job search and placement assistance.Learn more about VETS’ Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program.A full listing of award recipients follows this release.The recipients of new HVRP grants are as follows:RecipientCityStateAmountAletheia House Inc.BirminghamAL$600,000 Volunteers of America of Los AngelesLos AngelesCA$600,000 PATHLos AngelesCA$600,000 PATHLos AngelesCA$600,000 Vocational Rehabilitation Specialists Inc.MarinaCA$600,000 Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist Inc.MarinaCA$600,000 Volunteers of America Northern California & Northern NevadaSacramentoCA$599,489 Vietnam Veterans of San DiegoSan DiegoCA$370,412 Vietnam Veterans of San DiegoSan DiegoCA$600,000 Volunteers of America ColoradoDenverCO$437,529 Friendship PlaceWashingtonDC$575,710 City of JacksonvilleJacksonvilleFL$271,457 Hire Heroes USAAlpharettaGA$134,244 City and County of Honolulu Department of Community ServicesHonoluluHI$427,000 United States Veterans InitiativeKapoleiHI$490,372 Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Louisiana Inc.New OrleansLA$600,000 Troubled Waters Inc., operating as Bridge Club of Greater LowellLowellMA$600,000 Veterans Inc.WorcesterMA$233,150 Community RebuildersGrand RapidsMI$250,000 Volunteers of America Michigan Inc.SouthfieldMI$133,332 Hancock Resource CenterWavelandMS$227,210 Goodwill Industries of New MexicoAlbuquerqueNM$521,116 ICD-International Center For The DisabledNew YorkNY$599,428 Volunteers of America Ohio & IndianaColumbusOH$272,863 Volunteers of America Ohio & IndianaColumbusOH$276,821 Muscogee (Creek) NationOkmulgeeOK$438,870 Easter Seals OregonPortlandOR$533,280 Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania Inc.PittsburghPA$249,409 CLC Inc.Fort WorthTX$235,800 American GI Forum – National Veterans’ Outreach Program Inc.San AntonioTX$600,000 Family Endeavors, Inc., operating as EndeavorsSan AntonioTX$599,665 Family Endeavors Inc., operating as EndeavorsSan AntonioTX$599,665 Total Action Against Poverty in Roanoke ValleyRoanokeVA$274,614 Workforce Resource Inc.MenomonieWI$600,000 .
