2 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 2018 State launches grant program to bolster veteran services The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs is now seek- ing grant proposals from non- profits and other service providers who want to help expand needed services for Oregon veterans. The grant program was cre- ated to improve services in a number of key areas, including mental and physical health care, housing, employment opportunities and stability, education and training oppor- tunities, transportation, and promoting veterans’ organiza- tions that provide critical serv- ices for veterans. “One of the things that defines the Oregon veteran community is our ability to creatively and effectively har- ness available resources to make a difference for veter- ans,” said Sheronne Blasi, act- ing director of the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs. “We see it happen every day. This grant opportu- nity is about supporting that work, expanding services for veterans in their communities, and we’re confident it will make a big impact.” Funding for the program comes from the Veteran Services Grant Fund, which was established by the Legislature in 2017 with its passage of House Bill 2891. The Veteran Services Grant Fund is funded by Oregon Lottery revenue, which was made possible through voters' approval of Measure 96 in November 2016. Eligible organizations include nonprofit organiza- tions incorporated under 501(c)(3), veterans organiza- tions incorporated under 501(c)(19), tribal, regional, local governments, or state agencies, Oregon quasi-public agencies and Oregon intergov- ernmental agencies. Grant proposals must be received by Feb. 1, to be con- sidered. All awards will be one-time grants, ranging from $25,000 to $250,000. Grant awards will be announced in the spring of 2018. Proposals must be submit- ted through the Oregon Procurement Information Network (or ORPIN) site. For more information or questions about this grant opportunity, please contact ODVA Senior Policy Advisor Laurie Skillman at laurie.skillman@ state.or.us.
