to achieve economic prosperity, offering appropriate participant support to marginalized groups and making services accessible for underserved communities.To meet the fluctuations in the population and changing needs of veterans experiencing and at risk of homelessness, DOL/VETS requires grant recipients to provide an array of client-centered services utilizing a case management approach that directly assists veterans experiencing and at risk of homelessness and provides critical linkages to a variety of support services available in their local communities.

The HVRP approach is focused on obtaining high-quality career outcomes for the veteran.

Veterans are to receive the job training and employment services required to re-enter and be successful in the labor force.

To realize long-term benefits for veterans experiencing and at risk of homelessness, Grant recipients must address the complex employment-related requirements and support services necessary to meet the needs of this population.

This can be achieved either through direct services or through a robust referral system with established tools, resources, and partnerships to identify, recruit, prepare, and support veterans experiencing and at risk of homelessness for employment success.

Through one of these methods, grant recipients will provide job placement, job training, job development, career counseling, and employment preparation services, among other services, to assist with obtaining meaningful, family-sustaining employment.
