IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0GRANT ASSISTANCE IS DOCUMENTED ON A VETERAN BY VETERAN BASIS IF A NEED IS ESTABLISHED. FUNDS ARE SPENT DIRECTLY ON VETERAN'S NEEDS, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE MONTH'S RENT WOULD BE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE LANDLORD OR AUTOMOBILE REPAIRS WOULD BE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP FOR THE VETERANS EMERGENCY FUND. PAYMENT IS DIRECTLY MADE TO THE PLACE OF STAY FOR THE HOUSING PROGRAM. NO FOLLOW UP IS NECESSARY ON DIRECT EXPENDITURES. IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION PRESENTS ITSELF WHERE THE ORGANIZATION PAYS THE VETERAN DIRECTLY, WHICH HAPPENS RARELY, THE ORGANIZATION REQUESTS DOCUMENTATION OF THE NEEDED EXPENSE, FOR EXAMPLE A COPY OF A BILL PRIOR TO PAYMENT.
