Many other veterans are also considered at risk for homelessness because of poverty, lack of support from family and friends, and precarious living conditions in overcrowded or substandard housing. One federal program designed to help these veterans is the Department of Labor's (DOL) Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP)--a grant program that provides funding for employment and training services for homeless veterans. GAO was asked to assist Congress with its consideration of HVRP reauthorization by providing information on DOL's (1) expenditures on HVRP grants and (2) measures and goals for assessing the effectiveness of HVRP. GAO reviewed VA and DOL documentation that included the amounts DOL expended for HVRP as well as information on HVRP grantees and performance goals. GAO also interviewed DOL program officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-654T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-654T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-654T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-654T.pdf GAO-05-654T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-654T Testimony GAO-05-654T; Homeless Veterans: Job Retention Goal Under Development for DOL's Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program; Employment assistance programs Federal funds Federal grants Funds management Grant administration Grant monitoring Homelessness Occupational retraining Program evaluation Training utilization Veterans Veterans employment programs DOL Homeless Veterans Reintegration Projects Program Volume 101 Page 482 101 Stat. 482 Volume 115 Page 903 115 Stat. 903 Public Law 100-77 Public Law 107-95
