Opportunity Information: Apply for 2018 TIP NOFA
The 2018 VA GPD Transition In Place (TIP) NOFA is a funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under the Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem (GPD) Program, specifically using the Per Diem Only (PDO) component. The purpose is to support community-based organizations and government entities that provide housing and supportive services to homeless Veterans using a Transition in Place model. In practical terms, TIP is designed to help Veterans stabilize in housing by moving them into a unit where they can remain as they progress, rather than requiring repeated moves through different program stages. The NOFA is structured both to encourage reapplications from existing TIP grantees who want to continue their work and to attract new applicants who can expand TIP-style capacity for homeless Veterans.
This NOFA is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity focused on housing (CFDA 64.024). The VA indicates an intent to fund roughly 500 beds over a two-year period. Total funding available is approximately $25 million, described as supporting an average of about 25 beds per night per project. While the NOFA centers on per diem support (rather than capital development), the overall emphasis is on maintaining or expanding operational capacity that directly houses Veterans and supports their transition to longer-term stability.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, reflecting the VA's reliance on local partners to deliver homeless services. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This range allows the VA to fund both dedicated service nonprofits and public entities that manage housing or coordinate regional homeless response systems.
The application timeline is clearly defined. The opportunity was created on November 6, 2017, and the original closing date was February 21, 2018. Complete applications had to be physically received by the GPD Program Office by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, February 21, 2018. Submission requirements were specific: an original signed and dated application, collated, plus two additional completed collated copies. Applicants were directed to consult the full Notice of Funding Availability on the VA GPD website for the detailed program requirements, funding priorities, and the step-by-step application process.
In terms of award size and scale, the listing notes an award ceiling of $1,250,000 and an expectation of about 20 awards. This implies moderately sized projects capable of operating a meaningful number of beds, with a focus on service delivery and day-to-day housing support funded through per diem payments tied to Veteran occupancy. Overall, the 2018 TIP NOFA represents the VA's targeted investment in a housing model intended to reduce instability and speed progress toward permanent housing outcomes for homeless Veterans by allowing them to remain in place while services and income supports are put in place.Apply for 2018 TIP NOFA
