A Stand Down is an event held in a local community where homeless veterans are provided with a wide variety of social services including employment assistance.
Stand Down funding is a non-competitive grant awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until available funding is exhausted. More information is available from the program site.
The maximum amount that can be awarded to support a local Stand Down event is $10,000 per applicant per fiscal year. If the event is held for one (1) day, the maximum amount that can be awarded is $7,000. An applicant is normally allowed one grant award per fiscal year.
