The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) supports local Stand Down events that assist veterans experiencing homelessness by providing a wide range of employment, social, and health services.
Stand Down is a military term referring to an opportunity to achieve a brief respite from combat. Troops assemble in a base camp to receive new clothing, hot food, support services, and a relative degree of safety before returning to combat action. A DOL VETS-funded Stand Down event serves a similar purpose; however, it is intended for veterans experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. The critical services provided at these events are often the catalyst that enables those individuals to reenter the workforce.
VETS awards these noncompetitive grants on a first-come, first-served basis to support one-day or multi-day events at up to $7,000 or $10,000, respectively. They are collaborative events coordinated between VA, DOL, other federal, state, and local government agencies and community-based organizations providing services and supplies to veterans experiencing and at risk of homelessness. In the event of a federal disaster declaration, VETS will accept applications up to $50,000 to conduct Stand Down events in the impacted areas.
VETS awards Stand Down grants subject to the availability of federal funding. All costs incurred by the award recipient prior to the period of performance start date identified in the Notice of Award issued by the Department are incurred at the recipient’s own expense.

Veterans experiencing homelessness do not always have access to basic hygiene supplies that are necessary to maintain their health and appearance. Also, the lack of shelter limits their ability to prepare for and present themselves at job interviews or be contacted for follow-up. These grants funds must be used to enhance employment and training opportunities or to promote the self-sufficiency of homeless veterans through paid work.</p><p><br></p><p>The maximum amount awarded per applicant, in a fiscal year (October 1 – September 30) is $7,000 for a one-day event and $10,000 for a multi-day event.

Grants may be awarded to multiple organizations that conduct SD events in the same general area as long as there is no commingling of federal funds.</p>"{"code":"VETS","seed":"DOL-ETA-VETS","agencyCode":"DOL-ETA-VETS","agencyName":"Veterans Employment and Training Service","topAgencyCode":"DOL"}345327[{"id":"25","description":"Others (see text field entitled \"Additional Information on Eligibility\" for clarification)"}]"2025-10-30-00-00-00""2023-01-10-00-00-00""Jan 10, 2023 05:08:26 PM EST""Jan 10, 2023 05:04:37 PM EST""2025-09-30-00-00-00""N/A""Questions regarding a SD grant application should be sent to the DVET in the state in which the event will take place. \r\n\r\nContact information for the DVET is available at: https://www.dol.gov/vets/aboutvets/regionaloffices/map.htm.""N/A""2023-01-10-17-08-26""https://www.dol.gov/vets/aboutvets/regionaloffices/map.htm"[{"id":"G","description":"Grant"}]"0""DVET State Contact Information""10,000""N/A""See VPL 01-23 Section IV for the list of eligible applicants.
