VA Will Use New Data To Prioritize Grants
The VA will collect new applicant data to decide who gets Legal Services for Homeless Veterans (LSV-H) grants because requests for funding are likely to exceed available appropriations. The VA will use information on eligibility, financial stability, capacity, and VA-controlled scoring criteria to prioritize awards under 38 U.S.C. sec. 527.
Application Time Burden on Grant Applicants
Private-sector organizations that apply must complete VA Form 10-318a (Application), which the VA estimates averages 24 hours per applicant. The notice reports a Total Annual Number of Responses = 710 and a Total Annual Time Burden = 7,020 hours.
Ongoing Reporting Requirements for Grantees
Grantees must submit ongoing reports: VA Form 10-319a (Quarterly Grantee Performance Report) four times per year, estimated at 30 minutes per report, and VA Form 10-319b (Budget Changes and Corrective Action Plan) as needed, estimated at 2 hours. The notice estimates 400 responses for the quarterly report and 10 responses for the budget/CAP form annually.
