Idaho Organizations to Receive $13M for Veteran Housing Support

The funding will go to 680 organizations through two VA programs after the agency said it housed 51,936 homeless veterans in fiscal year 2025.

  • The Department of Veterans Affairs announced a record $1.17 billion in grants to 680 organizations across the U.S. to prevent and reduce veteran homelessness, with funding beginning October 1, 2026.
  • Grants will be distributed through two programs: the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program receives $855 million, while the Grant and Per Diem program receives $318 million for transitional housing and long-term stability.
  • Secretary Doug Collins said the agency "is making historic progress" in getting "vulnerable Veterans off the streets," with data showing 51,936 Veterans housed in fiscal year 2025, the highest total in seven years.
  • Regional allocations include $13 million to Idaho organizations, including The Boise-based El-Ada Community Action Partnership, and $17 million to Wisconsin groups strengthening community partnerships with Veterans.
  • The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans cautions that thousands still lack stable housing, as challenges including limited affordable units and barriers to services continue putting Veterans at risk.
