Full Description
Arizona Department of Veterans' Services (ADVS) is focused on ensuring that applications address social determinants of health (SDOH) for Arizona Veterans. Applications must pertain to at least ONE of the categories of SDOH, which includes: basic needs, employment, family and social support, finances and benefits, higher education, housing and homelessness, legal, mental health and substance abuse, physical health, and spirituality. ADVS encourages all VDF applicants to submit grant applications that address upstream prevention so that Veterans and their families do not escalate into a crisis. Applications that propose to provide direct services for Veterans will be prioritized over applications that provide direct services to Veterans. Direct services are defined as services being provided for and for the benefit of the individual Veteran. For example, assistance with paying past due rent and/or utilities. Indirect services are not intended to provide services for the direct benefit of the individual Veteran. For instance, requesting funding to conduct a study to understand Veteran homelessness is an indirect service. The study itself does not affect a Veteran experiencing homelessness, but could provide insight into direct services that could be provided that would affect a homeless veteran's housing outcome.
