BOISE — The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Boise Veteran Affairs Medical Center announced Monday it had awarded $13 million across eight grants to organizations helping veterans in Idaho who are homeless or at risk of being homeless.

The grants will be distributed through the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program to prevent the imminent loss of a home, identify suitable housing for veterans and families and rehouse veterans and families who are homeless. The Boise-based El-Ada Community Action Partnership is among the recipients of the SSVF program for fiscal year 2027.

Funds for traditional housing and support services will be distributed through the VA’s Grant and Per Diem program to fund transitional housing as well as housing designed to serve women veterans who are chronically mentally ill, frail or elderly.

Coeur d’Alene’s St. Vincent de Paul of North Idaho received a per diem grant to fund 14 veteran beds, according to the award list for fiscal year 2027.

“VA medical centers across Idaho remain committed to ensuring Veterans have access to safe, stable housing and the supportive services they need to thrive,” Nate Stewart, acting director of Boise VA Medical Center, said in a release from the medical center. “These grants strengthen our partnerships with community organizations and help us reach Veterans where they are, providing resources that make a meaningful difference in their lives.”
