The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs awarded $651,572 to one Virgin Islands community organization for fiscal-year 2027 services for veterans who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes.
The VA's grantee list identifies Meeting the Needs of Our Community, Inc. as the territory's recipient under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program.
The program can support homelessness prevention, help families identify more suitable housing and rapidly rehouse veterans who would otherwise remain homeless. The award is part of a nationwide VA package, not an unrestricted payment to the recipient.
The announcement does not specify how many Virgin Islands households will be served, when local enrollment will open or how the award will be divided between direct assistance and supportive services. Those implementation details remain to be published.
The VA and local recipient should publish eligibility rules, enrollment contacts, service capacity and quarterly counts of households assisted before the grant year begins.
