Number of Homeless Veterans and VA Beds by State
The following table shows the number of beds funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program in each state compared to the estimated number of homeless veterans reported in each state. This information was taken from the 2006 VA CHALENG Report. The entire report can be found at http://www1.va.gov/homeless/page.cfm?pg=17.
Per Diem funds under the Grant and Per Diem Program are awarded, on a competitive basis, to community-based programs that offer supportive housing and services to homeless veterans. Notices of funding availability are published in the Federal Register, usually in the spring. The program funding level is determined internally by the VA after Congress approves appropriations each year.
