The Foundation's Veteran Housing Grants Program awards grants to nonprofit organizations for the new construction or rehabilitation of permanent supportive housing for veterans. Awards typically range from $100,000 to $500,000. 

What are the eligibility requirements for the program?

• THDF supports new construction or rehabilitation of multifamily, permanent supportive housing for veterans

• Only physical construction of housing for veterans (hard costs) is covered. THDF does not provide funding for furnishings, rental subsidies, tenant services, etc.

• THDF’s grant funding must be comprised of less than 50% of the total development cost of the project/program

• The target population of honorably discharged veterans must be at or below 80% AMI

• 75% of the development/program’s funding sources must be identified at the time of proposal submission

• The project must commence within 12 months of proposal submission

• At least 20% of the housing units must be reserved for veterans

• Proposals must provide evidence of a third-party binding agreement that ensures the units are occupied by veterans for a minimum of 15 years. I.e. project-based HUDVASH, other funder requirements, deed restrictions, zoning requirements, etc.

• Supportive services must be provided
