Local providers are people like you!<\/span><\/strong>
\nThey are also the local CANS (Community Action Networks) and other non profits that are responsible for administering the homeless veteran grant per diem program monies and other different grants. Once you begin building relationships with these local grant recipients and marketing your housing options to them, they will begin contacting you! Typically, they will look to help place people for the following reasons:<\/p>\n

\n
• Bridge Housing<\/strong>: Emphasizes short stays, quick connection to permanent housing and necessary supportive services and benefits for homeless veterans that are in need of the grant per diem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  \n
  • Service-Intensive Transitional Housing<\/strong>: Emphasizes slightly longer stays paired with intensive services and supports to address a veteran\u2019s barriers to achieving permanent housing; or<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    • Transition-in-Place<\/strong>: This is more of a section 8 type program where the homeless veteran grant per diem program is essentially run through the section 8 VASH program office. It is a time limited transitional housing option where the veteran takes over the lease as their permanent housing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      HOW MUCH CAN I CHARGE PER NIGHT, WEEK OR MONTH WHEN HELPING HOMELESS VETERANS ON THE GRANT PER DIEM PROGRAM?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      It runs the gamut, but by and large $18 – $46 night (FOR HOUSING ONLY).<\/strong> Remember, there are multiple “types” of grants within the homeless veteran space (Mentally Ill, chronically homeless etc)\u00a0and all pay different amounts. Remember, the homeless veteran grant per diem program is just one of many funding options for you!
      \nIn my\u00a0Gold Course<\/a>, I outline the different niches that you can serve once you get into the group home industry. At the very beginning however (unless you already have an “in”) I recommend being a broad based provider for a variety of special needs communities. Don’t restrict yourself to homeless veterans only – open it up for all types of people. Eventually, as you begin building up your network of Doctors, nurses, case workers, social workers etc. your phone will begin ringing off the hook and you can begin setting up specific homes for specific needs – i.e. homeless vets struggling with substance abuse issues
