Through our Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP), we aim to address the unique challenges faced by veterans transitioning from homelessness to stability by offering job readiness training, career counseling, and personalized resources. We are committed to helping our heroes reclaim their independence, rebuild their careers, and reintegrate successfully into civilian life, ensuring they receive the respect, resources, and opportunities they deserve.
HVRP has two core objectives.
- To provide services to assist in reintegrating homeless veterans into
meaningful employment within the labor force
- To stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that
will address the complex problems facing homeless veterans.
Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program (HVRP) is an employment-focused competitive Federal grant program, providing assistance to veterans experiencing homelessness to reach their full employment potential and obtain high-quality career outcomes. HVRP supports veteran job seekers as they confront and overcome the barriers that prevent them from finding and retaining employment.
