Department of Veterans Affairs July 18, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to establish a pilot program, known as the Rural Veterans Coordination Pilot (RVCP), to provide grants to eligible community-based organizations and local and State government entities to be used by these organizations and entities to assist veterans and their families who are transitioning from military service to civilian life in rural or underserved communities. VA would use information obtained through the pilot to evaluate the effectiveness of using community-based organizations and local and State government entities to improve the provision of services to transitioning veterans and their families. Five RVCP grants would be awarded for a 2-year period in discrete rural locations pursuant to a Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) to be published in the Federal Register.
