SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA is amending its regulations that govern the Supportive Services for Veteran Families SSVF Program under section 2044 of title 38 United States Code U.S.C., which requires the Secretary to provide financial assistance to eligible entities, approved under that section, to provide and coordinate the provision of supportive services for very low-income veteran families occupying permanent housing.
VA implements the SSVF Program in 38 CFR part 62. Through the SSVF
Program, VA awards supportive services grants to private non-profit organizations or consumer cooperatives to provide or coordinate the provision of supportive services to very low-income veteran families who are residing in permanent housing and are at risk of becoming homeless. We note that, for the purposes of this section, permanent housing means community-based housing without a designated length of stay where an individual or family has a lease in accord with State and Federal law that is renewable and terminable only for cause. Examples of permanent housing include, but are not limited to, a house or apartment with a month-tomonth or annual lease term or home ownership. A very low-income veteran family will be considered to be occupying permanent housing if the very low-income veteran family: Is residing in permanent housing and is at risk of becoming homeless but for the grantees assistance; is lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, is at risk of remaining in that

state if they do not receive the grantees assistance, and is scheduled to become residents of permanent housing within 90 days; or meets one of the conditions listed above after exiting permanent housing within the previous 90 days to seek other housing that is responsive to their needs and preferences.
Part 62 of 38 CFR details how the program is administered, to include the types of services, the application and scoring process, and other requirements and limitations associated with the program. This rulemaking amends 38
CFR 62.34, which establishes other supportive services that grantees may provide, which are necessary for maintaining independent living in permanent housing and housing stability. Specifically, this rulemaking will provide a more effective subsidy to veterans in high-cost rental markets;
increase the cap on General Housing Assistance to reflect increased costs;
and extend the ability of SSVF grantees to provide emergency housing for the most vulnerable, unsheltered veterans and their families.
Most critically, this rulemaking amends 38 CFR 62.34a8 to provide a more effective subsidy to veterans in high-cost rental markets. A more effective subsidy is considered urgent and time sensitive as it will significantly improve the level of rental support available to homeless and at-risk Veterans. These Veterans currently face substantial risks of eviction and potential homelessness which constitutes a serious and imminent risk to their health. These risks are now prevalent and, with the end of eviction moratoriums, cannot be forestalled.
Delays in issuing this interim rule will delay a potentially life-saving intervention.
38 CFR 62.34a8
A shallow subsidy offered recurring rental assistance at a fixed rate for a longer period in comparison to Rapid Rehousing. The expectation was that this sustained support would expand housing options and increase the Veteran households ability to meet other costly living expenses. As a result, the SSVF Program Office embarked on an initiative in October 2019 to offer the Shallow Subsidy service in select communities.
The provision of shallow subsidy funds was implemented under 38 CFR
62.34a8. VA is amending the fifth sentence of 38 CFR 62.34a8 to provide a more effective subsidy to veterans in high-cost rental markets. We are also reorganizing current 62.34a8 for clarity, without changing the meaning of such section.
