BILLING CODE 4830–01–P
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS
AFFAIRS
Rental and Utility Assistance for
Certain Low-Income Veteran Families
AGENCY
: Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA).
ACTION
: Notice.
SUMMARY
: The Supportive Services for
Veteran Families (SSVF) Program has
enabled grantees to augment available
housing options for homeless Veterans
in high rent-burden communities by
increasing rental assistance for up to 2
years before recertification. This notice
will establish locations where the SSVF
grantees can place Veterans in housing
with this rental subsidy.
DATES
: SSVF grantees can place
Veterans in housing with the rental
subsidy described in title 38 CFR
62.34(a)(8) in the newly described areas
effective the date of this Notice
publication date.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
: Mr.
John Kuhn, Homeless Program Office,
Supportive Services for Veteran
Families Program Office, 810 Vermont
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420;
202–632–8596. (This is not a toll-free
number.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: In a
document published in the Federal
Register on August 28, 2019, VA
published a final rule, which revised its
regulations that govern the SSVF
Program, which is authorized under 38
U.S.C. 2044, 84 FR 45074. This rule,
which amended 38 CFR 62.34(a)(6) and
(8), enables SSVF grantees to provide
rental assistance where the limited
availability of affordable housing makes
it difficult to reduce a community’s
population of homeless Veterans. The
lack of affordable housing in the United
States has been widely documented
with its effect becoming more
pronounced during the coronavirus
(COVID–19) pandemic. The National
Low-Income Housing Coalition
maintains a detailed database that
shows there is a shortage of affordable
housing across every state. As the lack
of affordable housing is a national crisis,
VA is expanding access to the SSVF
resources described in sections
62.34(a)(6) and (8) to all counties and
equivalents within the 50 United States
(U.S.); the District of Columbia; Puerto
Rico; the U.S. Virgin Islands; and Guam.
Through these subsidies, the pool of
available housing can be expanded as
program participants have access to a
broader rental market. Section
62.34(a)(8) states that extremely low-
income Veteran families and very low-
income Veteran families who meet the
criteria of section 62.11 may be eligible
to receive a rental subsidy for a 2-year
period without recertification. Section
62.34(a)(8) further states that the
applicable counties will be published
annually in the Federal Register. As
stated in the notice, a family must live
in one of these applicable counties to be
eligible for this subsidy. The counties
will be chosen based on the cost and
availability of affordable housing for
both individuals and families within
that county.
On September 28, 2020, VA published
the applicable counties for fiscal year
(FY) 2021. As the COVID–19 health
emergency has significantly increased
the population of Veteran families at-
risk of homelessness, SSVF is
expanding the applicable counties in FY
2021 to include every county and
equivalent in the 50 United States; the
District of Columbia; Puerto Rico; the
U.S. Virgin Islands; and Guam. This
expansion will enable all eligible
Veteran families to access this housing
option.
Locations: This rental subsidy will be
available in all counties and equivalents
within the 50 United States; the District
of Columbia; Puerto Rico; the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and Guam.
Signing Authority
Denis McDonough, Secretary of
Veterans Affairs, approved this
document on July 30, 2021, and
authorized the undersigned to sign and
submit the document to the Office of the
Federal Register for publication
