  1. Veterans and Military Families Focus Area Strategic Goal Grants will positively impact the quality of life of veterans and improve military family strength.

  2. Veterans and Military Families Description of Focus Area Grant activities will increase: • the number of veterans and military service members and their families served by CNCS-supported programs, and • the number of veterans and military family members engaged in service provision through CNCS-supported programs.

  3. Veterans and Military Families Priority Measures V1: Number of veterans that received CNCS-supported assistance V8 (new): Number of veterans’ family members that received CNCS-supported assistance V7: Number of family members of active duty military service members that received CNCS-supported assistance V9 (new): Number of active duty military service members that received CNCS-supported assistance

  4. Veterans and Military Families Priority Measures V2: Number of veterans engaged in service opportunities V10: Number of military family members engaged in service opportunities as a national Service Participant or volunteer

  5. Questions/Issues in Vets and Military Families 1 Grantees can opt-in to the Vets Measures only if their program model specifically focuses on Veterans and Military Families. Grantees can report on Vets served on the back end if their program model is focused on other Focus Areas (e.g. housing, education). Must be unduplicated counts within each grantee Measure, but duplicated counts across the Measures is allowed (and expected).

  6. Questions/Issues in Vets and Military Families 2 The demographic categories for collecting data on veterans have changed significantly. Last year, grantees were asked to report on veterans, veterans with disabilities, unemployed veterans, older veterans and veterans in rural communities. This year, grantees will be asked to report on veterans, active duty military service members (including National Guard members, reservists and wounded warriors), veteran family members and military family members. The new Measures place greater emphasis on the objective of strengthening military families. The definition for military and veterans’ family members has been tightened to "immediate" family members.
