Fifth round of Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention

Program offering $75 million for Veterans Housing

SACRAMENTO - The Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention program (VHHP) is making $75 million in funding available, beginning November 8, 2019, to assist in developing housing opportunities for California's Veterans, especially those at risk of homelessness or experiencing temporary or chronic homelessness.  Awards will be made to qualifying developers and nonprofit entities to construct, acquire, rehabilitate, or preserve affordable multifamily housing for our veterans and their families.

"Our Veterans deserve the very best housing solution we can provide," said CalVet Secretary, Vito Imbasciani MD. "VHHP has become the beacon of hope for our veterans experiencing homelessness or facing housing instability. With the help of our partners, HCD, and CalHFA, at risk veterans in California can find a place to call home."

"The VHHP program is helping veterans regain a sense of place, pride, and most importantly, peace," said Acting HCD Director, Doug McCauley. "The millions of men and women who were brave enough to serve our country should not have to fight another battle once they return home."

On any given night, nearly 11,000 veterans experience homelessness in California, while countless veteran households face the instability of severe housing cost burden. Housing instability and homelessness among women veterans with children and veterans with disabilities are also on the rise. The service-rich communities being developed through VHHP program funding employ the Housing First model and address many of the challenges that vulnerable veterans face and support their movement toward housing stability.

Applications are due on February 13, 2020. To assist applicants, workshops are planned for developers, sponsors, and other interested parties at the following locations:
