    VA Announces Homeless Program Awards

    WASHINGTON (Oct. 3, 2003)- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today
    identified recipients of approximately $12.5 million in grants as part of
    VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program. Recipients are
    community and faith-based organizations, as well as state, local and Indian
    tribal governments that provide critical services to homeless veterans.

    "These awards demonstrate President Bush's commitment to ending chronic
    homelessness in America," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J.
    Principi. "VA is proud of its role in combating homelessness. I am
    confident that these grants will improve the lives of many veterans in their
    time of need."

    Thirty-eight programs in 25 states have been named to share $8.5 million in
    grants. These grants will assist community-based agencies acquire,
    renovate, or build transitional housing facilities, provide supportive
    services for homeless veterans and purchase vans for outreach to or
    transportation of homeless veterans.

    The awards will support opening 451 beds, one independent service center and
    one service center operating in conjunction with supportive housing.
    Twenty-six organizations will receive funds to purchase 33 vans.
    Priority for the grants was given to Indian tribal governments and
    organizations in states without veteran-specific programs. Five awards were
    to providers in four of the targeted states. Those programs are located in
    Alaska, Montana, New Hampshire and North Dakota. Two grants were awarded to
    organizations associated with Indian tribal governments.

    For the first time, VA is also providing grants to community-based agencies
    for renovations needed to comply with requirements of the Life Safety Codes
    of the

    National Fire Protection Association, which must be met by 2006. VA has
    awarded more than $4 million to 28 programs for sprinkler and alarm systems
    or other safety-related structural changes. Individual awards range from
    about $14,600 to nearly $700,000. Organizations selected for Life Safety
    Code grants operate facilities established under previous VA grants.

    A summary of approved projects is attached. More information about VA's
    Homeless Assistance Programs and Initiatives can be found at
