Abstract:
Public Law 116-315 provided authority for VA's Homeless Programs Office (HPO) to grant funding to eligible organizations that will coordinate or provide legal services to Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Requests for funding by applicants are likely to exceed the amount of funding appropriated to the VA for these grants. The VA must collect data to prioritize applicants for funding. The legal authority for this data collection is found under 38 USC, Part I, Chapter 5, Section 527 that authorizes the collection of data that will allow measurement and evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Programs, the goal of which is to improve health care and services for Veterans.
Emergency Justfication:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) issued an interim final rule (AR33) to implement a new authority requiring VA to award LSV grants to eligible entities that will provide certain legal services for homeless veterans and veterans at risk for homelessness. This rulemaking specifies grant eligibility criteria, application requirements, scoring criteria, constraints on the allocation and use of the funds, and other requirements necessary to implement this grant program. An emergency 6-month Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance is requested because the use of regular OMB clearance procedures will not allow for coordination of the PRA clearance and required commencement of the LSV grant program with publication of the rule.
