SSVF Program Update January 20, 2017


Hi Team,

This is the SSVF Program Update from Friday. Please read the information in detail. The Program Launch in Denver does not apply to you since we attended the launch in Atlanta in November. There is a great blog about grantee's experience with SOAR in this program update; a very big thank you to the SAMHSA SOAR TA Center! Please remember that the NOFA is due next week. If you have questions, it is absolutely imperative to get them in this week. Please send questions to ssvf@va.gov and cc me. Please include NOFA Question and your grant number in the subject of the email.

Thanks so much! Have a great week!

Adrienne

Attention all grantees that were not invited or did not attend the SSVF Launch in November 2016 held in Atlanta, GA. Registration is now OPEN for these grantees to attend the FY 2017 SSVF Post Award Launch Event to be held on February 7-8 in Denver, Colorado. Grantees are expected to arrive on February 6th in order to begin promptly on February 7th. Invitations have been sent to the SSVF Grant Contact #1 and Grant Contact #2 in the GIFTs system. If you believe you did not receive the invitation, please check with your internal staff prior to contacting the Program Office or your Regional Coordinator. If you have any questions, please email Bobby Thompson at robert.thompson2@va.gov.


Highlight: SOAR and SSVF Partnering to End Veteran Homelessness

The SAMHSA SOAR TA Center presents a blog on the partnership between SSVF and SOAR.  The blog features success stories from three SSVF grantees about their SOAR partnerships. Each SSVF grantee was asked to write a paragraph on whatever they felt proud of or wanted to share, and we are excited to share these great stories.
