Grant Per Diem (GPD) Case Management is designed to improve housing retention for veterans who were formerly homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless.
About
Since 2010, Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas has supported military veterans who were formerly homeless or at risk of homelessness through our North Carolina Grant Per Diem (GPD) Case Management program. Working in collaboration with the Veteran Affairs (VA) Grant and Per Diem Program (GPD), this community-based program improves the housing retention of veterans in need. Through this program, our goal is to reduce the rate at which veterans experience homelessness and trauma while helping veterans maintain long-term stability and self-efficacy.
