[Docket No. FR-5403-N-01]


Notice of Availability: Notice of Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 
Implementation of the Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration 
Program

AGENCY: Office of Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and 
Development, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Through this notice, HUD announces the availability on its 
website of the funding criteria, policies and procedures for the 
administration of the statutorily authorized Preventing Homelessness 
Among the Nation's Veterans Demonstration Program, referred to as the 
Veterans Homelessness Prevention Demonstration Program (VHPD), in a 
limited number of U.S. communities. The Omnibus Appropriations Act for 
2009 (Pub. L. 111-8, approved March 11, 2009), authorizes the VHPD and 
appropriates $10 million for HUD to conduct the demonstration. 
Consistent with this authority, HUD has coordinated with the Department 
of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Labor in selecting a limited 
number of urban and rural sites in which to carry out this 
demonstration. The purpose of the VHPD is to explore ways for the 
federal government to offer early intervention homelessness prevention, 
primarily to veterans returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It 
is anticipated that this demonstration program will provide an 
opportunity to understand the unique needs of this new cohort of 
veterans, and will support efforts to identify, reach and assist them 
to regain and maintain housing stability.
    The notice providing information regarding the application process, 
funding criteria and eligibility requirements is available on the HUD 
Web site at http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm. The 
Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number for the VHPD 
program is 14.239.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions regarding the VHPD Notice 
should be submitted to the HUD e-snaps Virtual Help Desk at http://www.hudhre.info/helpdesk.
