HUD recently published Notice PIH 2025-21, which announces the opening of the Registration of Interest process for incremental 2025 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) funding. The Department is disbursing approximately $34 million through this Notice, which will support roughly 3,400 new VASH vouchers.
HUD will award funding to eligible applicants based on geographic need, HA capacity, and support from a partnering Veterans Affairs (VA) facility. The minimum per-HA allocation of VASH vouchers through this notice is five, while the maximum HA allocation is 500 VASH vouchers.
Interested HAs must submit the electronic Registration of Interest form, located on HUD’s website, by midnight of their respective time zone on September 10, 2025.
HAs are eligible for funding provided they meet the following three criteria:
- HAs with an existing program of more than 25 VASH vouchers must have a VASH utilization rate of 60% or greater as of March 1, 2025. HAs with fewer than 25 VASH vouchers, or who do not have a VASH program, are not subject to any utilization criteria.
- HAs must not have any major unresolved management findings or program compliance issues. Members should consult the Notice for a full list of disqualifying items.
- HAs must submit a signed letter of support from their partnering VA facility. While not required, HUD also encourages HAs to partner with their local Continuum of Care (CoC) in administering VASH vouchers.
