- What it does
- In September 2014, five grantees were awarded $2 million each, for a two-year pilot program to aid Veterans and their families with the transition to civilian life in one or more of the following areas: increase coordination of health care and benefits; increase availability of high-quality medical and mental health services; family assistance; and outreach. The objective of the pilot is to assess the feasibility of using community-based organizations and local, State, and Tribal government entities to determine best practices in successfully coordinating multi-sector benefits for Veterans and their families who reside in rural or underserved communities.
- Who benefits
- Eligible Veterans for the program are limited to Veterans and their accompanying families who are transitioning from military service to civilian life in rural areas. According to Federal Register (78 FR 12617) on February 25, 2013, which is codified at 38 CFR part 64, an eligible Veteran means a person who served in active military, naval, or air service, who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. A Veteran who is transitioning from military service to civilian life means a veteran who is separating from active military, naval, or air service in the Armed Forces to return to life as a civilian, and such veteran's date of discharge or release from active military, naval, or air service was not more than 2 years prior to the date on which the RVCP grant was awarded. A Veteran's family means those individuals who reside with the veteran in the veteran's primary residence. These individuals include a parent, a spouse, a child, a step-family member, an extended family member, and individuals who reside in the home with the veteran but are not a member of the family of the veteran.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
